Ive been using N86 for 15 months now and I have to say that Im very satisfied with its overall features, but there are some issues that i dont want to tolerate anymore, and as a hardcore Nokia Nseries fan and because camera is the most important feature on a smartphone for me, I am going to buy Nokia N8 as soon as possible. I have used N73, N95 8GB, N82, N85 and now N86 8MP, so N8 seems like a logic choice for me. Of all those Nseries phones Ive used, only N82 could come close to N86 in photography, but only because of its xenon flash. Now, I have to say that the double LED flash on N86 is definitely the strongest flash Ive ever seen on any cameraphone, sometimes to the point of being too strong! And we all know that one of the main values of xenon flash is that it freezes the picture even when capturing some very fast moving objects, for example, with N82 i used to take pictures of a cooling fan at its highest speed and when captured using xenon, picture looked as if the cooling fan was off! And i like that white light that xenon produces much more than too yellow LED light. But when taking photos outside at the bright daylight without using flash, N86 beats N82 big time! Speaking about the speakers sound quality, again I have to say that N82 had much stronger speakers than N86-sometimes i miss the call because i dont even hear it ringing. So now the only thing is that N8 is going to be my first touchscreen phone and I hope Ill adjust to it quickly. All in all, even after 15 months of using it, N86 is still a great phone in my opinion, but the time have come for a new phone and of all this cool new phones, only N8 attracts me very much, probably because Im a big Nseries fan after all!

              I have a concern.. all settings of my camera for n86 is on default mode. even on video. My problem is, when its on camera mode or video, the picture quality is ok, but when your going to take a video or a picture already, the result would be a very bright picture.. more close to semi white screen. What should I do?
              please help..

                Friends, what about it's flash support in web browser? It has flash lite 3.1 which supports some contents of flash player 9.4, but nowadays every site requires flash player 10 or more.. So my question is how it's flash support is good? How many in percentage does it show the flash contents? Can I play farmville on it? Tell me in detail?

                    now on my third n86, first one had charging issues, charged it fully for 8 hrs then ran down fully and charged again as you should do, sometimes with phone charged overnight,during the day when i took a call it would go to powersave mode and the battery gauge would show only one bar but some time later it would be displaying full again!! got a replacement and it done the same within days and then the earpiece got so bad i could bearly hear, have just got my third and already the battery is messing around!!! i do absolutely love the phone beside the problems, great functions, great camera and loud ringer which i need for work, if only nokia would fix the problems i would be very happy

                        This is very good hand set to use. Only one problem identified is battery. I have to charge the batter everyday.

                            Had problems too with battery (lasting less than a day sometimes only 6 hours, then reset & "system error" message - a program failure for sure). Didn't knew what prog. was the cause so, deinstalled some apps incl. battery meter, gps positioning methods: internal+assisted only, made a backup then reset *#7370#. It now holds for 2-3 days. I have it from july 2oo9. Otherwise, best Nokia beside n8! I want a 12Mpix camera in a phone with hardware keys :(

                                  Hi I am Ikram Sulaiman. N86 is my first choice. I have used Many Nokia N-series phone specifically Nokia 73, N95, and Apple Iphone 3gs, HTC Touchpro.Imate and so on. I carefully studied all phones futures and the performance while I was using phones.Then I finally came to upgrade my Apple iphone 3gs to N97 mini or N86. I went thourgh in the internet for the all it futures between these 2 phones. Both phone futures are same, the differecne is N97 mini is a Touch screen 5MP camera phone while N86 Non touch screen with 8MP camera phone + FM transmitter future which is not available in N97. However I already have very good experience in the Touch screen phones. Touchscreen phones are not sensitive when you are in a very busy mood even if it is an Apple iphone 3gs. I have used apple iphone 3gs also. For example when you drive a car holding the touch screen phone on one hand which do not have hardware numeric keypad, and making calls on finger touch on the phone screen will not respond quickly. It is really annoying when you are in a very active mood. But N86 excellent phone comparing to N97mini It has hardware Numeric keypad as well. Its performance are fantastic and wonderful. I would recommend N86 is First and best phone in Nokia brand for 2010. But it is true that you must have very good knowledge of N86 phone to get its maximum advantage!!
