And seriously kids, Nokia couldn't care less if their phone has the best camera. I'm pretty sure my uncle couldn't either since he uses a Canon EOS Rebel XTi. That thing pretty much trumps any camera phone and probably will for the next half-decade. Professional photography on a phone is still a joke IMO, and it'll take the next 2 years for said opinion to be swayed.

    Best 8mpix image savvy till now. May be too late to got FD but this want we need from Nokia(Hardwork)..
    Here the ppl want to know that Face Detection is Outdated.
    Nokia hardly works in world's first Eye recognisation feature which is known as "EYE PLAY".
    User eyes are gets Recognised from Front facing camera which controll's the most part of the menu options..
    Still i tested only the Beta part, Final may bring much more options and i expect that N86 may get this feature from future firmwares..

                      guys, get reall.the best 8 mpx cameraphone is the INNOV8,argue as much as u want but be honest.its closest competition is Omnia HD,being better in some aspects,but worse on other.

                                No more dtmf sounds when pressing the keys on the phone.
                                And the music Icons changed into a menu map.

                                      This is really cool for N86 users. I wish Nokia could also add such a feature on the N97 firmware coming up soon.
