The editors didn't like

  • Limited video codec support

  • Average macro shots
  • A less intuitive UI than we’re used to from Nokia

  • Sluggish Symbian OS
  • Tacky build quality
  • Small screen
  • No Xenon flash. Limited photo features. Flimsy kickstand stand
  • No Xenon flash
  • The lack of a Xenon flash does take the shine off what would otherwise have been a killer cameraphone. For a phone which prides itself on its camera
  • It's a pretty big oversight. That said
  • The picture quality is still high
  • So we're prepared to o...

  • 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
  • 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
  • The Nokia N86 8MP sticks to the template used by N-series classics like the N95. Compared to some of the innovative phones coming out now, the N86 feels rather dated, but it's still a solid, powerful and feature-packed smart phone, and its excellent c...

  • The Nokia N86 certainly is an interesting device. We did enjoy the short time we spent with it and most of our first impressions are quite in its favor. We may have a grudge or two with ergonomics, as well as screen size and resolution, but thats abou...

  • The Nokia N86 8MP features an 8-megapixel camera that takes excellent pictures and include advanced options, such as a wide-angle lens and variable aperture. It's also a capable smartphone and offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support.
  • The N86 is expensive. Compared with the competition, the phone's display is a bit low resolution and the software feels outdated.
  • If you can afford it, the Nokia N86 8MP is one of the more advanced and better camera phones on the market today, but there are cheaper alternatives. Read full review See all prices Check coverage in your area
