Nokia N86 Mobile Phone

Nokia has taken its time getting into the 8 megapixel camera market and this, their N86 is the entry. It has a lot of catching up to do and the big questions are – will this one be worth the price? And will it have enough features to make you want to buy it? Take a look, here's my opinion.

It's getting harder to categorise mobile phones these days - my Nokia E75 is a ‘smartphone' because Nokia pitches it that way. The N86, however, has exactly the same smart functionality but it's got an 8 megapixel camera on the back, so that theoretically makes it a ‘camera phone'.

Nokia N86 8MP Review

The first Nokia mobile phone to reach the 8-megapixel camera mark, Nokia N86 8MP revives the N-series, which was almost overrun by the competition. Following the same line imposed by its N85 predecessor, Nokia N86 8MP is stuffed with the latest camera technologies that the Finnish company seemed to...
Pros:
  • The strong point of the smartphone is definitely the 8-megapixel camera, which should receive a software update to perform better
  • I would also highlight here the HSDPA (3.6 Mbps) connectivity, the accelerometer for auto-rotate, the good battery, the very good music sound, the web browser with Flash...
Cons:
  • Perhaps a fresher design that would meet nowadays demands would've made the phone more appealing
  • Also, the lack of a document editor or DivX and XviD support drags the phone a little backwards
  • The AMOLED display is also a negative point, as its performance under sunlight is poor.

In general it's one of the simpler smartphones out there but can still be packed with apps of your choice. Definitely one to consider.

Nokia's handsets have always been popular and as Matt mentioned, this isn't exactly new, it's one of those handsets that kinda passed us by originally but is definitely one worth reviewing as the N86 seems to have remained as a quite a popular handset.

I like Nokia phones, so I am biased. I have used several Nokia phones over the years. What's noteable about this phone is - you will be hard pressed to find a new phnone like this for sale today. The whole market has changed, and very few manufactuers build a power user slider phone anymore.
