Nokia N86 8MP smartphone

In a day and age where feature-packed, touch-screen smartphones dominate the upper tier of the mobile phone world, you can't help but feel Nokia's N86 8MP looks a little out of place.
Pros:
  • Reasonable build quality
  • decent camera
  • Ovi Store preloaded
  • zippy Symbian interface
  • AMOLED display
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • nothing overly new or exciting
  • some keys are a little small

REVIEW: Rogers Nokia N86

Nokia has done a great job with this phone. While others may think this is a smartphone. I consider it a basic phone, with smartphone features added. The Nokia N86 impresses me with it's stunning photo qualities and tons of features including GPS and WiFi.

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.
