Nokia N85 video review

We're not totally convinced by the N85's screen, but in most other respects this is Nokia's best handset for quite some time. It's small and pocket-friendly, has an excellent line-up of features and is fairly easy to use. In many ways it's the phone that the N96 should have been. Read full review

I don't know how you give the overall score, since this N85 phone has 8+9+8+7 and gets an o.s. of 9, whilst the 5800 XpressMusic has 8+9+8+8 and gets an o.s. of 8. Why is this?

@Jose because the scores are not an average. You could have a camera with incredible specifications and a great price so it would score highly on nearly all categories, but if it took horrible photos it would still get a low score overall.
