The editors didn't like

  • Limited video codec support
  • Design is starting to look like a blast from the past
  • Average macro shots
  • A less intuitive UI than we’re used to from Nokia
  • And you can’t share photos on most popular networking sites.
  • Sluggish Symbian OS
  • Tacky build quality
  • Small screen
  • No Xenon flash. Limited photo features. Flimsy kickstand stand
  • No Xenon flash

  • Nokia's N86 has had quite a few mixed reviews and has even been called 'ugly', but I was quite impressed with it! I found it to be a stylish and robust handset which I would be quite happy to show off! The Nokia N86In general it's one of the simpler sm...

  • The Nokia N86 8MP isn’t the sort of smartphone that moves the genre on. Its size is going to be an issue for some, and its S60 3E user interface is beginning to feel old hat. But its 8Mp, mechanical-shutter camera will appeal to photographers -...

  • Series 60 has been around a while, but as long as Nokia keep using it in well-designed handsets it will continue to be the phone of choice for a large number of users. If the N85 was a great phone, the N86 is even better. The camera is excellent, with ...

  • E xcept for a few designer issues, such as the design of the keypad and the position of the keys below the screen, the Nokia N86 is a nice and neat multimedia smartphone. All the functions are there. The Symbian software runs well and makes everythi...

  • Nokia’s gift with camera phones is shown off here with great photographic results from a neat, if not tiny, 8-megapixel model. It’s mostly very satisfying to use, has decent battery life and lots of features like GPS and one-button access to YouTube, b...

  • Great landscape, portrait, action and panorama shots, Nokia Messaging, Nokia Maps.
  • Average macro shots, a less intuitive UI than we’re used to from Nokia, and you can’t share photos on most popular networking sites.
