    lee, 02 Oct 2009cos n86 is the best camera phone on the market it is symbia... morec905 is also symbian but i agree that c905 was the worst of the first 8mpx phones.

        a real face on gsmarena.com
        that's new!
        i always wanted reviews where the camera samples included people. It's not quite there yet, but seeing a human on the site for once is reconforting - in a strange way like "robots with reviews" and stuff.

            I have N86 for two month, and yesterday I've got brand new I8910 HD.
            At the same time I have noticed there is an update for my good old N86...and after a while it was updated.
            There are some improvements, but still it is not working perfectly, themes effects are making problems, graphics at all...and even after this new firmware, I8910 HD has better camera quality in both still image and video recording, believe me!!!
            Salut

                    Hahahaha

                    I agree it's far better for video, but Photoshots on Omnia are just ugly (jsut take a look at the review, worldwide, N86 is the best photophone)

                          Guess what. I've just updated the N86 with their latest greatest Imaging phone and.... NO The video editing feature is nowhere near as good as the N95 video editor.
                          Why would they take a backwards step in a software package that was perfectly ok.
                          Maybe this is why Samsung is destined to become the number one phone company in the world. Because Nokia are taking backward steps and insulting the intelligence of it's loyal followers.
