The Nokia N86 is like a rare, good sequel to a great summer movie. Loaded with enough technical features to give almost any smartphone user a migrain, this new addition to the N-series comes with, among other typical smartphone features, a large 8MP camera sensor, an FM transmitter, a high capacity battery (1200mah) and a beefy, 128mb RAM.
Nokia has been cramping more and more features into their smartphones ever since the introduction of the N95 two years ago. Physically, the N86 does not appear to be any more compact than the N95. But aside from the additional gimicks mentioned earlier, the N86 also has an additional internal 8GB flash memory and a digital compass to work with its MAPS application. It has the same double-sliding form factor as the N95, but the front surface of the N86, unlike the N95, is all glass. The control buttons on the top will take a while for anyone to get used to, as other than the C (cancel) button, there is no indication as to what they do.
The N86 also uses AMOLED for its display, as compared to older N-series models, making the system more power efficient and allows users to stay unplugged for a longer time. And perhaps for the first time, the USD2.0 connector for this N-series lets you charge the phone while you’re transferring music / images / videos in or out of the phone.
Perhaps the best thing about the N86 is its sheer speed compared to earlier N-series models. Personally i don’t see the point of having a phone that can do everything, but can’t even keep up with a 70-dollar phone when it comes to doing text messaging or taking pictures. The N86, coupled with the 128MB RAM, allows it to be more responsive than earlier N-series models, so it doesn’t feel like a convoluted, heavy mass in your pocket. Other N-series models, like the N96 or the N95, are just trying too hard to do too many things at the same time without the RAM to handle all the tasks.
Unfortunately for the N86, the new-agey chassis and GUI design will take a bit of getting used to. It is a bit loud (especially the white version), and looks funny if you take it out of your pocket during a business lunch. It is however nevertheless a speedy and powerful multimedia device and a long awaited sequel to the N95. It’s a movie you don’t want to miss.

Well this phone for me is the one i’ve been waiting for, excellent camera, dvd quality video @30 fps (frames per second- you need to get this or higher for good quality video).
The buttons are tough as well as the feel of the surrounding case (but get a cover anyways, the amazon one with the screen protector and charger is the one im happy with).
Voice activated calls and menus with voice read back of your messages (funny if someone is a swearer!) found that a good toy to play with.
Fm radio & transmitter- well the transmitter is ace, no need for an expensive cd/dvd player, just download your tunes send em to the phone and sync your transmitting channel with the one on your car radio and streams through the air with ease, no need for cd’s/usb!
Loads of stuff on this phone not to mention adobe pdf reader! Download your ebooks send em to your phone and you can have up to 8 gb’s worth of books if you like!!
I have had the phone for 2 weeks now i have the latest firmware installed, I find no bugs or hangs with the Symbian operating software and i’ve been battering it from menu to menu.
The only gripe I have with this phone is the music player could be better, bass’ier and louder, please note that ive come from the excellent music playing sony ericsson w580i so was expecting equal or better than my previous phone.

this is one of the fastest symbian s60 phone is the market. fantastic screen quality. the photo quality is very good although not xenon the flash still provides enough light to take pics in the dark.
however the built quality isnt what i expected. the buttons arent pleasant to press. they are somewhat too hard. worst is the camera button. its so hard too press. the back cover also creaks a bit. try it in a shop before you get it i think
i got mine from amazon. fast delivery & good price!

Fantastic phone, class. Everything thing is good, especially the cool and sophisticated blue AMOLED display behind glass. The camera is first rate for a phone and really when you need that pic, what else do most of us carry? 28mm f2.4 and zeiss mean creative landscapes are possible. 3.5mm jack, FM radio and lots of gigabites provide music galore. I always need a voice recorder and that’s there too. And it’s all so classy.

Having left the Nokia Stable some 3 years ago, to try Sony Ericsson I thought it was time to return to Nokia with the N86 8 MP. I’ve now owned the phone 2 months and on a second battery – This new one is no better – The phone is on standby most of the time – One or two short calls a day and checking on appointments battery life 36 hours max! Any attachments to events or appointment aren’t viewable. Nokia tech support ignored two email requests for support. On telephoning, I was cut off because they didn’t understand what an attachment was. The second call was shrugged off of with “this is beyond the capabilities of the operational software” after a long wait. Nokia I’m so sorry I came back!
