It's been almost a year since the first mobile phone with an eight-megapixel camera sensor from the likes of Samsung and Sony Ericsson was introduced to consumers - a year that is long in the making of Nokia's first similar device, the Nokia N86.

Nokia N86 8MP review Review
Cast in the same mould as N-series classics like the N95, the N86 8MP smart phone doesn't break any new ground but is a solid example of what Nokia does best. Sporting an attractive two-way slider design, it offers tonnes of features, chief among which is a fantastic 8-megapixel camera
Pros:
- Excellent photo quality
- Dedicated music and gaming buttons
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- GPS
- Great selection of apps available
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- FM and Internet radio
Cons:
- Nokia's Ovi Store is still weak
- User interface looks dated
- Not the easiest phone to use
- Connecting to Wi-Fi is fiddly
- Keys are too small

The reality is that images from the Nokia N86 can now be printed at A4 with ease, which makes it a credible alternative to carrying a digital compact around. This phone also includes high quality video, internet access, MP3 and multimedia messaging.

The Nokia N86 8MP is being trialed by an iPhone 3GS user
James Burland is an experienced Nseries user, Apple iPhone 3GS admirer and a photographic wizard, so in August he borrowed a Nokia N86 8MP for a few weeks, this was to find out if he could push the camera, as its exceptional selling point.

Nokia's late entry into 8 MP but worth a buy
I owned a Motorokr E6 touch screen phone and wanted to buy a camera phone which can take decent pictures. I eyed on the Sony Ericsson C902 (the phone James Bond uses in Quatum of Solace) which has got a 5 MP camera.

Nokia N86 8MP
There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP; it combines everything we loved about Nokia's N-Series since the N95, mixing great hardware with a solid platform and Nokia's growing suite of Ovi apps - but it's hard to fall in love with it too.
Pros:
- Solid construction
- Great keypad
- Good 8MP camera
- 8GB storage
Cons:
- 2.6-inch screen is small for this price range
- Earpiece speaker was muffled during tests

Brilliant phone again from Nokia. Easy to use with excellent functions. Only downside would possibly be the design. Upgrading from a N95 so didn't feel like a proper change but worth it still for this phone does have better features so all in all PERFECT! :D.

Nokia N86
I liked this phone when I first got it, and in a funny way still do. It was a bit weighty, but felt solid and dependable. However, in less than an hour of getting it out of the box it froze on me. A simple address book edit was apparently too much for this all bells and whistles comms hub.

Nokia N86
The Nokia N86 8MP first made its appearance at GSMA 2009 and stepped up as the most advanced camera phone in the company's N series of multimedia smartphones. Nokia even went as far as to say that it could replace your standalone point-and-shoot camera.

- The Nokia N86 8MP features an 8-megapixel camera that takes excellent pictures and include advanced options, such as a wide-angle lens and variable aperture
- It's also a capable smartphone and offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support
Cons:
- The N86 is expensive
- Compared with the competition, the phone's display is a bit low resolution and the software feels outdated
