I was very excited about the N86 8MP when I got it 2 years ago. However, as I used the phone over the last 2 years, I have discovered many glitches and illogical features in the Symbian UI. For example, the phone log does not use seperate icons to distinguish a cell phone number from a home number in a contact. So, when I use the missed call log to return a call, I never know which number I am dialing unless I go through a series of menus to see the actual number. Also, the messaging software is terrible. So many unecessary clicks to input a contact and to send a message. Also, the message details such as sent time and number are all hidden and I cannot see this info without going through menus. Overall, the UI is very user unfriendly. The camera does live up to the expectation. Both pictures and videos are exceptionally crisp and colors are accurate. Though the double LED flash does not really help that much in long distance shot in the dark. But most phones are bad at that. My complaint would be the annoying loud shutter sound of the camera that cannot be turned off. When taking pictures in a quiet setting like during a wedding vow or a speech, it is extremely disruptive and embarassing. I have never been disappointed by a Nokia product until the N86. I do not recommend this phone.

    I saw my friend's N86. I was amazed by the brilliance of lightly shielded AMOLED screen. The color is simply superb. it's like reading a paper with a glowing characters. On Touchscreen phone, most of this briliant AMOLED colors are filtered by the touch layer. i estimate a lost of around 20%.

                          Why xenon flash is so rare in nokia phones unlike the k series of sony ericsson it almost have xenon flash..
                          Nokia,is it really hard to make xenon flash 'cause your always using leds which is not that bright..if there is dual led flash there should also a dual xenon flash!! It's something new in a mobile right? So far nokia just made some phones equipped w/xenon flash like n8,n82 and 6220c..imagne! There are many cameraphones that nokia produced but there are only 3 that has xenon flash! Nokia,is that what you want to have to your customers pure led flashes?.,

                                        this phone is rubbish i've had nothing but trouble with this phone. hanging up for no reason, kicking me off the internet in the middle of something and not goin on hardly any internet sites! I'm on my second handset as i've had so many problems and this 1 is worse than the other 1!!! will never get a nokia again!
