While many of the latest smartphones will offer you the chance to customise with apps, surf the web with ease and basically do lots of funky things, the one thing they all have is a general disregard for the camera.

  • dedicated camera buttons
  • screen
  • simple and easy to use
Cons:
  • Lens cover annoying

Nokia N86 8MP in-depth review -

Nokia tends to put out good, solid handsets. But with the N86, it has blown itself away and put out a damn near incredible camera phone. The first eight-megapixel snapper from the Finnish manufacturer isn't the all-in-one smartphone to topple you-know-what off its iThrone, but it is excellent at...
Pros:
  • Great landscape
  • portrait
  • action and panorama shots
  • Nokia Messaging
  • Nokia Maps
Cons:
  • Average macro shots
  • a less intuitive UI than we?re used to from Nokia

Nokia N86 8MP

Smartphones may be the buzz word on people's lips right now, but from a photographer's perspective the cameras on them are infamously bad. Step up Nokia, which has brought a competitor to the marketplace capable of domination.

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

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
