I like the time now been on most screens and audio/cam/video excellent..

Firstly the supplied earfones/buds are quiet maybe due to the noise limiter thingy,,my music search carrys on too as i left it running for 15 mins and still searching,,i also tried factory reset and music icon is still a folder and some vids are running with sound only but could be due to needing the licencse reinstalling..have put a good bit more but mods not putting thru..

Some of the pre installed videos don't play just the audio but no video, but some do play. And the music icon is just an ordinary folder.

          Just like to share this..when I got the new phone N86 8MP,i can play mp4 videos, I updated the firmware from 10 to 11 then 20. Then I can't play the pre-installed videos anymore. Even the music folder went to a regular folder. So what i did, back things up, and reformat the phone-like restoring the factory settings. Surprisingly, the music icon is back-even the videos(mp4,3gp ETC) are playing as well-faster compared to before doing it, and hooking it up using the cable for TV-cause it was a little bit slow and looks like a busted video player. Now it works fine!

                                      I have tried both colours of the N86 an the White one really outclasses the indigo one,everything looks brighter an the outside buttons are alot brighter,just wish the mobile produces nowdays would go back to making mobiles were you could change the fascia so you can choose the colour you want,seen a video on youtube of repairing the lcd screen on the N86 an its not a easy job removing the fascia on the N86,tried to update the firewall but only got 11.043 an custom version date 13-07-2009,so how long will i have to wait for the 20 one
