Nokia N86

Once upon a time, the Nokia N95 has made our lives and we wiped our feet. It was a great smartphone with built unrivaled connectivity to satellite-nav and install applications possible. Nokia N86 is a worthy competitor for the crown of the N series and Nokia demonstrates what is best, but there were much smart-phone flavored water under the bridge from the series started. There is nothing wrong with this phone - it's a powerhouse, and 8 megapixels is fantastic - but there's nothing like an injection of what is happening and are not required to send the gadget frenzy of lust.

Nokia N86 Review

Before a rare animal is just a few months ago, 8-megapixel camera phones now, the phone roam savannas in mass. In general, you should demonstrate how easy it is for more megapixels to take a good photo, but the N86 camera is impressive. With good lighting, has a steady job capturing the colors, bright accurate. But, even in low light, the camera - both LED lights shine photo - really. It is not the proper image quality for a compact camera, but our favorite is frighteningly clear, even if we simulate the dark lighting and shaky hands while taking a night for the film.

The button on the camera itself may be longer, but a minor complaint, especially when we know that Nokia all packed inside. There are many parameters, such as an easy to use, while the panorama mode, and many treatment options for growing and optimizing images. There is even a small sliding door with Carl Zeiss lens cover to keep them. Opening starts the camera automatically.

Unfortunately, the exchange of insurance is not as easy as other phones. The photographs of the vessel for the implementation of information exchange Vox, Flickr and Nokia Ovi own service, but it would be good to look at other options, such as Facebook, even there. When we tried to download the test plans for our Flickr and made them a message absurd and useless. The N86 is much more than just a camera phone, but it is a good choice if you are looking for a quick snapper with higher quality and more extras.

In fact, all the buttons are rather difficult. There are several call buttons on the front of the phone below the screen - five-button navigation and End keys, two context-sensitive keys, a Delete button, a menu button on the right corner. It helps cool the phone, but there are so many easy opportunities to snap that one cannot avoid the N86 too much sacrifice usability for style.

The N86 is a slider phone with two ways. Sliding the screen shows the way the keys are the size and shape of large grains of rice - a potential problem for people with thick fingers. Sliding the screen in the other direction is based on four main strong, capable of controlling the media player or games. It is a refreshing, it finds that the phone is not only bigger, and transparency is stable and well made.
If you have never used phone Nokia, you have no problems with the N86, but it is not the easiest phone to operate. For example, there are tons of great applications out there for phones Nokia, but to find and install them to accept vague in most cases, a process with many confusing messages.

Nokia Ovi new stores helps a lot, but unfortunately many of the best applications are not on the Ovi-Store. There are still some good, even though, as the application of Facebook, so it's worth checking out.

He could not understand why the N86 probably use Facebook and YouTube has applications in the applications, if in fact it is only links to relevant websites instead of complete applications are installed. The Facebook application is much better than the mobile site.

It is time for Nokia to boost the morale of the user interface. In general, the task it wants to connect to Wi-Fi is available, but is usually too many confusing steps. When web applications based on transparency, we are sometimes asked if we wanted to Wi-Fi in Crave Towers, sometimes called, and sometimes kicks the network 3G. It can lead to Nokia smart phones to the masses proud, but other handset manufacturers have a lot of work to do smart Drop the phone easier to use and Nokia need to catch up.

If we could connect, Web browsing is very nice on the N86 66 mm (2.6 inches) display. YouTube and BBC iPlayer also works very well, and that AMOLED screen is decent. There is even a small stand that appears on the back of the phone for the proposal while you watch. Overturning the state will automatically open the gallery, where you can access your photos. It's a cute idea, but it's really annoying when you have a video all cued up and ready to go.

The N86 is a phone with good music, thanks to the special keys for music and a standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, which means you can use your headphones do not have the adapter. It will also support FM radio and the radio on the Internet, with a good podcast. There is a lot of space to store all your music with 8GB of internal memory and memory card slot microSD, which up to 16 GB more.
Synchronize music; video and other data are quite simple with Nokia PC Suite, which has steadily improved over the years, the promotion of shit to clean up. Offering great benefits, such as the ability to synchronize via Bluetooth, text and type your computer before it is sent to your phone so you can use a real keyboard. But still cannot compete with the Party Music Manager PC Suite software with its own music, so you may prefer the N86 in mass storage and sync your music with your favorite music software for calling. It is also useful if you have a Mac, because PC Suite only works on computers.

Final Words and Conclusion

The Nokia N86 8 MP does not break much new ground, but it is a good place in the popular N series from Nokia. It is so easy to use than the iPhone or HTC hero, using, for example, but actually packs in features, if you can find, there are millions of fantastic applications out there to make it even better. Best of all, a phone that takes good pictures with almost no shutter lag. A top-of-the-phone-camera online with all the power of a smartphone that we believe is the N86, it is worth.
