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
  • 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...

  • Not the easiest phone to use

  • Reasonable build quality, decent camera, Ovi Store preloaded, zippy Symbian interface, AMOLED display
  • Expensive, nothing overly new or exciting, some keys are a little small
  • The Nokia N86 8MP is a premium multimedia phone with a price tag close to those of the best touch-screen smartphones on the market. It’s not a bad phone at all, but there really isn’t anything to get excited about. ...

  • Solid construction, Great keypad, Good 8MP camera, 8GB storage
  • 2.6inch screen is small for this price range, Earpiece speaker was muffled during tests
  • Though its well designed and solidly built, the N86 is a tough phone to get excited about. Its AU$949 price tag is a bit ritzy for what you get. Editors’ rating: 7.5/10

  • Abstract:  The touch-screen phenomenon has engulfed all facets of tech from smartphones to printers, game consoles to All-in-One PCs. Nokia’s N86 however is a throw-back to the days when the Finnish manufacturer ruled the high-end phone scene with its non touch-s...

  • Abstract:  Being one of the last has some pros and cons. Cons include you cannot cash in on the latest fad but the pro is you can work on the flaws of the first ones to etch out a close to flawless product. Nokia is one of the last one to roll out an 8MP phone and m...

  • The Nokia N86 does not have anything new apart from a camera with more megapixels. It is a multimedia phone that performs effortlessly but is priced a bit steeply considering the non-revolutionary feature it carried. ...

  • Solid build, excellent display, comfortable keypad, wide-angle camera, convenient kickstand, audio quality (headphones), feature rich
  • Camera quality could be better, keys on the side are a bit too flush, display visibility under sunlight
  • Today we have with us the Nokia N86 8MP. This is the first phone from Nokia featuring an 8 Megapixel camera. Unlike other 8 MP camera phones on the market, the N86 has a wide angle Carl Zeiss lens with variable aperture. Just like its predecessor, the ...

  • Abstract:  To begin with stating the obvious, the Nokia N86 8MP only brings one major upgrade over the N85. But its the kind that is likely to make the handset a hot seller. Looks like quite a lot of people will be eager to buy Nokias first 8 megapixel camerap...
