Nokia announced a pair of smartphones that it said balance a mobile professional’s business needs with robust multimedia functionality.

Today, missing our expectations by a small margin, Nokia has officially taken the wraps off their new pair of handsets – the Nokia N79 and Nokia N85. As the successor to the Nokia N81, the dual-sliding Nokia N85 offers a newly uprated 5 megapixel camera, fitted with the dual-LED flash and the Carl Zeiss optics that Nokia loves to use on their higher-megapixel cameraphones. Additional to that some GPS, 3G (HSDPA), WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 2.6-inch AMOLED display, and microSDHC card slot, and you’ve got the makings of a serious handset. The Nokia N85 runs on S60 3rd Edition and is fully N-Gage compatible.
