  • this is the first phone that i have and i really miss it too bad its damage now. . btw sorry for my grammar

  • I've had this phone for 5 years and its durable as hell, I've dropped it dozens of times. It has good radio reception and decent sound quality. The battery isn't that great anymore but for the first 3 and a half years it only needed charging once a week and that was with a lot of calls and texting.

  • @273Banjo And the great thing is that the replacement batteries for it are cheap now.

  • @eckstea It also has a record feature so you can record any audio and use it for a ring tune.

  • I hate Samsung! Love Nokia! Thanks for the review! :-)

  • can you watch you tube in 6085 ? 

  • @johnnyrose666 No the phone is too old to do that.

  • Ah, its nice to take a trip down memory lane sometimes. The Nokia 6085 was my first cell phone back in the day.

  • There's really nothing fancy about that phone , but one thing you can't beat it for is battery life. I owned one and I could literally talk all day and the bar wouldn't budge.

  • @Taz0161 After having one for a couple of years the battery is finally not holding a charge on mine.

  • @eckstea Yeah I had both the 6085 and the 6086 and in my opinion those phones are like BIC Lighters , they're disposable cell phones. They work real good for awhile but when they're done , they're done. I got 2 years out of the 6086 and 18 months out of the 6085 and they both died the same way. First the screen starts blinking then goes black. If you want a real good flip try the Nokia N75. Battery life isn't too red hot but it's a powerful device with loads of features. Check my video

  • @Taz0161 Actually right now I am looking for a phone with amazing signal strength, the apartment I am in at the moment must have been built specifically for the purpose of blocking cell phone signals. Any suggestions?

  • @eckstea Well in my opinion I really don't think that there is any one cell phone that's better than the other. Although thier antennas come in various sizes, their function is pretty much the same , to enhance the signal and boost the phones capabilities. Alot of it has to do with your location , your building as you stated , the distance between your home and the nearest tower , are you on high ground / low ground and also your carrier. If you have Boost or Cricket your dead in the water

  • Those super cheap carriers that offer the best deals usually give you exactly what you pay for. Around here we call Boost Mex-Tel LMAO because all the illegals resort to that carrier because they don't ask for a SSN# or a credit check , as is with Cricket. But if you look at their coverage map , it looks like grape juice splashed on a white dress IE more white that blue. I would say stick to Nokia and Samsung , I've never had any luck with Motorola. And go with AT&T , T Mobile or Verizon.

  • How do I transfer my contacts from phone memory to SIM card. My screen is blank.

  • You can either put it in your computer and format it that way or you can format it through the phone.

  • i got a sd micro, but when i set it in it says not formatet or something. so what settings should i format it to ?

  • i have a 6086 its practicly the same jut a bit better

  • Comment removed

  • I had the samsung then got the nokia and now am getting a LG xenon

  • My 6085 is crazy. like the screen is sometimes upsidedown etc.. >:( it was good before that happened.

  • @Chopperfani urs did that 2. i thought i was the only 1. then i got the samsung impression

  • @LedZeppelinH10 i got new 2 =)

  • radio costs extra on att

  • i have this phone and it is the worst phone in the world how do you like it im finally upgrading today and getting the samsung impression

  • @crazy4phillies yeah thats wat i got

  • Where do the headphones go? Ive had this phone for 2 years and never seen a headphone jack.

  • You have to use the included headset.... or another nokia brand one, they attach to the serial port at the bottom.

  • i woldnt get this phone i would rather get the LG dare

  • it has not been out for six years man

    3 years crazy !!!!

  • dude i droped it, it messed up like crazy and my calculator and some other stuff weas just gone

    like half my phone died

  • That stinks... have you taken the battery out for 24 hours without the sim card in and seen if it came back with this hard restart?

  • havent thought of it, thanks

  • best phone! doesnt break easy you can break the monitor of i mean completly and it will still work! mine is like that lol.. but im getting anew one.. cuz this phone is hard the speaker is good just too bad the monitor is littler and the cam quality kinda bites but its still a very nice phone

  • the only bad thing is the charger sucks

  • agree i had to buy a new one twice because it can break easy so you just need to be gentle with it..

  • otherwise i lovd this phone

  • yeah me too

  • I love mine too.

  • Hi, how do you adjust the main display's brightness and contrast? I have problems with my display and I cannot really see the pictures I took with the camera.

  • The camera is so bad that I never ever use it and I haven't had any problems with the screen being too bright. But I just looked through the manual and I have no idea how to adjust it.

  • one more thin

    after i listin to music and go out of teh music player

    it still pays

    how i go back to the menu of the media?

  • I am not really sure how to get the music to stop playing after you exit the music player other than going back in and hitting pause/stop.

  • sorry im stupid!!

    it does work

    it jest my phone is set for hebrew lenguige and the meening is bit difrent

  • i ahve this phone

    bat what i hate at this phone is

    that if i listin to music

    after the song its over it dosent move to teh next song

    do you know if i can install a new music player?

    and your noise blue...

  • I dont know why yours doesn't move on to the next song unless the songs are in separate folders or you aren't using the music player but are just finding the files and hitting play. Go to {Media>Music Player} and then find the files you want to play... this has given me no problems yet.

  • thank you

    bat my music is at the same folder and still it dosent move to the next song

  • u have to change the play options on the music player options

  • dude i have the same phone as you and i actualy broke a window with it and it still works fine

  • I have had mine for over 2 years now and it has taken the full weight of me falling on it I dont know how many times but it still keeps on ticking.

  • thanks for teling me about the phone i saerched on craigslist but i wanted to see what other people think of it. thanks again

  • Haha, the radio's playing 'No Time' by The Guess Who...

  • does it have a usb so you can plug in 2 computer

  • No, but it does have a MicroSD slot. You can buy a MicroSD card and reader for about 20 bucks.

  • dang i got one and i wuz hopin it had one

  • i have the blackberry storm  hah!! i think its way better than that

  • i had this phone and it is a peice of shit the friggin screan on the front actually has words on it but there all friggin upside down and sideways it screwed in the balls.. now i hav the pantech matrix that is a great phone if u hav att and r looking 4 a good messaging phone that the phone 4 u..

  • I really appreciate your candid review of this model. I'm looking for a phone with excellent call quality and this may be the one!

  • word of advise, dont go anywhere near sand with this. the sand goes straight in the screen and gets annoying.

    other than that, its a solid phone!

  • After a year with this phone, I am having trouble seeing the screen in direct sunlight because of the little specks of sand and lint under the screen.

  • IDK about yours but mine has the best battery life of any phone I've ever owned. I have unlimited minutes and I talk for hours and the battery just refuses to die.

  • where does the sim card for this phone go?

  • It goes behind the battery under a little metal cover

  • Ahhh yes my first phone!!! And for $69 on prepaid, it wasn't bad. The camera is nothing short of shit though and the internal memory is crap, but to have bluetooth and mms on it is nice. Nothing great but is worth the money if its still a continued product

  • I like it, mine has fallen on the floor for like a hundred times... And it is still alive...

    BUT: now my LCD-display has broken... :(

  • dont really like the phone but your right i droped mine so much on concret once i took a utillity knife to it......2:18 "there CHUNKY bottons. haha

  • The battery last's for three days off the charger! and I to have dropped it a few times. It's a wonderful phone. Maybe not be new technology.. but it is good.

  • i have this phone and it sucks ! Im getting a new one at the end of may [ LG Neon ! ]

  • omg same haha

  • i have this phone! i like it really well! it is easy to use and to me the more simple the better!

  • Supports a 4Gb Micro SD ????

    Please Answer !!!

  • This is a fantastic phone - it does what it says on the box. The memory is a bit crappy I haven't tried it with a memory card so I don't know what affect it has. Very strong - I have dropped it so many times and all the visible damage is a few scratches. The camera isn't amazing but it is good enough. It charges up pretty quickly. I will be sad to replace it but nothing can beat a LG Cookie!!!! Great review by the way! Fantastic first phone for kids

    I hope this is helpful to any future buyers.

  • The memory card makes all the difference, and thanks!

  • just wait. in about 4 months the charger will break and your phone will be unavailable.

  • I have had this phone for over a year and a half now, nothing wrong with it yet.

  • kay. well. my brother and my friend had one. and both their chargers broke.

  • i luv this phone!

  • Hi, if you or any viewers ordered this phone from the att website can you please reply and tell me how long it takes to come in? Thanks.

  • i still have this phone. i have dropped this phone in the lake about 4 times and dropped it from many buildings.. and the only things wrong with it are instead of dimming when it goes to turn off the screen it flashes like lightening. but i do not mind that that all. i think its actually pretty cool. and the other thing is well the top of the phone and the back of the phone dont stay on hardly anymore lol. but i think its a great phone. its definatly very durable :)

  • Guys call me a retart but thank god for this guy because I have had my phone for a year or two and i thought i need to buy a special headset but i realized my original works too. I thought i had tried to use my radio with my headsets but guess i hadnt! god bless ya

  • DO NOT get the Nokia 6085 it will start doing a problem over time where the screen WILL start flashing Blue that is on the inside of the phone. Then it will freeze blue and will not come up mine did this recently and i bought a unlocked sidekick 3

  • that happened 2 mine i sent it bac n got a new it didnt happen again....well yet atleast

  • my mom got that fone....excellent sound

    now temme...im gettin a 6233..

    i love itt

  • I LOVE THIS PHONE... JUST GOT IT TODAY!

  • When you're taking a video go to options, then go to settings. When you get there scroll down to Video clip length and set it to maximum instead of default.

  • weirdd i had both of those phones and the NOKIA 6085 I got it in pink and it started freezing and then just shut off it was retarded hahaa I need a new onee do you have any advice for a good phone thats cheap? cincinnati bell is lamee my dad won't get a new servicee.

  • The nokia 3555 isnt too bad... it is a little bit bulky but it has better buttons than the 2660 and has the same interface as both of the nokia phones. The other phone I would look in to if you dont text is the Samsung a436

  • thankss I'll defiantly try those I had the pantech slider,but thats the one I lost:(haha

  • The camera is just a VGA camera... so not so great. But the colors and contrast are alright... but the resolution negates that so don't rely on it for a camera.

  • What's that thing hanging behind the right shoulder, on the door ??

  • My fiancé's bras.

  • do you have it with suncom or att&t ? i was gonna win one online if it says unlock will it work in my suncom phone? if its a att&t phone?

  • I actually have it with Cincinnati Bell, which uses att&t network connections. I have no idea if it will or not, but the general idea of unlocking a phone is that it will work on another network.

  • ew flip phones

    i have an iphone 3g

  • I love flip phones... they prevent excessive screen scratching I have had with other phones.

  • eh i looove this phone but im getting a new phone on christmas :D it gunna be a helio >>

  • this vid is posted on my birthday, btw great review, made a cheap phone seem awsome

  • I got Dis Phone today I AM ENJOYING IT!!But somethings i dont like but its good 4 me cause it has bluetooth and micro sd kard which is good so i say 7/10

  • i got this phone yesterday im just geting to learn the basics im not sure if i spelled that right lol

  • Ive got one, and I bought it one year ago. Its almost in two pieces now. What a great phone.

  • I have a nokia 6085 and its a really good phone. The audio is GREAT.

  • Do you know which micro SD cards you can use? I got one from Sandisk and it won't show up in the "Tones & Gr." section as the manual says. So I can't format it.

  • All micro sd cards should work... i would go to gallery first and then see if it shows up. if not I don't know what is up... see if you can format it through a friends phone then insert it in to yours. (oh and make sure you inserted it the right way up... my friend screwed that up once)

  • Oh. Now I see what I did wrong. You have to push the micro SD card all the way in with a knife or flat head screwdriver until it clicks in place. I thought that the micro SD door would push it in. Oops. I'm all good now. Thanks.

  • i have a new version of a dell, how does the slot look like?

  • Its about 1/2 and inch wide and thin. If you knew what sort of dell you had you could just look it up on their website, or you could read your manual that came with the computer, instead of asking.

  • where do i stick my micro card into my pc? in the usb slot?

  • If you dont have a slot specifically for it then you have to buy a little usb card reader, you can get one for like 5-10 bucks.

  • NO, not in the USB slot. Most computers do NOT have a slot for a micro SD, although some new ones have a regular SD card slot. All micro SD cards come with an adapter to make it fit into a regular SD card slot. Like eckstea said, if you don't have an SD card slot, then you need a USB card reader which looks just like a thumb drive you slide the SD card into and then stick it into a USB port. Hope that helps.

  • thanks a million!

  • hey i'm plannin on gettin my nokia 6085 through fedex tommorrow i was plannin on gettin a samsung a737 but since they were out of stock my phone company is sending me a nokia 6085 for free but i only have one question to ask u... my phone company says that anything that i can do on my computer i can do on the nokia 6085 like watch youtube videos and check my myspace.... is this true or were they lieing to me because i'm pretty sure that u can't watch youtube videos on it??? plz plz reply. thx.

  • They were lying to you, the phone may come with a program that I do not know about, but my phone has no way of watching youtube or any other sorts of video. And it definitely can not go on line to the real internet, just to some really crappy cell phone pages.

  • how do u add songs to this using limewire?

  • The best way would be to buy a Micro SD card and place the songs on to it. Then insert the card in to the phone.

  • Nice review man but shit as phone

  • Its not bad... like I said, it was the best free phone out there when I reviewed it, and I haven't seen them get that much better. It is better than the Samsung equivalent due to its calling features.

  • Yo just a question, Is it Mini or Micro SD?

  • Micro

  • yo thanks I'm seriously considering this phone. Thanks 4 the help.

  • you rock

  • cheers

    nice review

  • what is the t9 texing like? i have an older nokia now where if you want to switch words you have to go into the menu, which is very annoying. so i was wondering if you have to do that on this phone as well, or if you can switch words by pressing the up/down button like a lot of newer phones.

  • Im not sure seeing as I do not text, my brother finds it pretty easy, and there is no menu involved its just a simple press of the * key.

  • i need an opinion, im getting this phone because i need a new phone and a music player, quality isnt much of a problem to me but i dont want a continues crackling noise. how is the overall sound quality

  • For a music player the sound quality is good, but the bass is a bit weak. The phone however is a bit weaker due to a slightly underpowered antenna, but the speaker phone makes up for that.

  • i love chunky phones

  • wow i want that phone so bad, i'll get it instead of the iphone

  • I got it because it was free and I'm cheep.

  • lol xD

    i can't wait i'm getting mine today ^-^

    but the pink one..

    i noticed that in most of the Youtube nokio 6085 videos....almost everyone has a blue one lol

  • Nintendo is out for some time too ;)

  • This is the greatest and funniest review I have seen. It makes me want to buy this phone.

  • Thanks!

  • i hate this phone!!! ive had it since november and i just hate it! the screen is so small and texting is ridiculus. the only good things about it is that the battery is good and i dropped it onto concrete like 7 times and it hasnt broken or scratched yet

  • You are funny : ) Thanks for taking the time.

  • I am planning more video reviews soon.

  • I FUCKING HATE THIS DUMB ASS PHONE

    i have had it for a year and it stayed in tack and it just is a peice of shit so i have saved up some money for the pantech duo woot

  • hey is there an option to silent the camera shutter noise when taking pictures?

  • Yes.

    Open your camera feature.

    Left click options.

    Go down to settings, click it.

    Go down to Camera Sounds, click on it and then choose on or off.

  • thanks

  • yep

  • You have a bunch of funny facial expressions, but thanks for all your help

    :)

  • thanks dude!!

  • Good review! Thanks for the posting!

  • im getting mines in 4 days my b day was 2 days ago

  • good video im getting that phone in 2 days i carnt wait its my birthday soon.

  • great video

    if you watch at 3:00 it looks like he is about to puke

    haha funny shit

  • i agree with you!...nice and neat little phone!...

  • I LOVE this phone! If you're a heavy texter as I am it's GREAT! The only complaint I have is the mono outer display screen. That kinda sucks. But..I had a SEw580i and it was a POS! Keys cracked after just 2 months of use and absolutely NO internal memory. Gave it up for this phone and so glad I did.

  • i have this phone and i hate it! i cant wait to get a new one! i also use cincinnnati bell.

  • Sure but it might be a while... unlike every thing else, I seem to hold on to cell phones for years.

  • No, sorry... I gave it to a local charity that gives them to elderly people so that they can call 911 if they are injured outside of the home.

  • Hello can you hide the music on this phone

  • holy crap it's brendan fraser! i loved u in the mummy returns

  • Nice bras hanging on the closet door....:P btw, any idea how to set up the voicemail, I just got this and can't figure it out.

  • Voice mail setups are normally done through the cell phone provider, so I really don't know.

  • i like making it say shit like a computer thats why i bought it lol i love this phone

  • this phone is good because it can stay withot recharge 1 week

    belive me i tried it but not many calls on the way

    and i love the speaker mp3 because it one of the strongest ones..

    exept for the nokia 5200 that haves a very xstrong speaker by the way great review

  • Good review.. Altough I disagree with you. I have this phone for over a year and i'm not thrilled with it. The only thing I can agree with is that it is cheap and absolutely unbreakable! It is as good and big as a brick, today most phones are thin. My second claim is that it has nothing new to oofer, all the functions that you named can be found in other phones, and believe it or not, even cheaper ones. And also The speaker sucks. All of my family purchased this phone and are not happy with it.

  • i disagree with you because the speaker are very strong i meen the volume is loud..

  • My speaker sucks... It might have been strong or good at the begining, but for some reason after a while it became suck... Now I can barely hear when calling.

  • Not a bad review, but I would hesitant calling it the best free phone. The only reason I got it was because of the $125 rebate from Amazon. I was paid $125 to use this phone :) Not a bad deal.
