Nokia N86 8MP

There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
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

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

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.

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
