The N86 seems to be a great phone. Does it support the divx & xvid formats. If yes, thoes it support the all versions of codec?

I believe Nokia is running out of good designs and feature packed phones. that's why they are just following the lead.

I've been saying this for a while now, same phone slightly different specs. 8 megapixels on virtually the same phone is silly. Its nice to see they stepped up their camera game, but why the same cruddy resolution on the screen.

I read this too about the Flash, be interesting to see how good it is in the flesh. Just doesn't make sense that a LED flash could be better than a xenon flash.

Actually I found this link where it says that 3rd gen dual-led flash or those with supercapacitors are more efficient and can provide brightness equaling or surpassing xenon
here's the link

Everyone is Slagging Nokia down for just upgrading the camera on the N85 to call it the N86,but they might be think of people budgets nowdays, an they would have got slagged down more releasing an mobile to expensive for most buyers,but this will show the C905 an i8510 up,but with June the release date another late release time from Nokia which seems odd from them again,Why? do the announce phones to early then 6 months before they are released

@k,
lol @ spreading the disappointment!

Wat do you think the chances are the new camera will make it into other nokia handsets?? (namely the N97)

Talking of fans being harsh, it was the reason that alot of peeps gave sony the finger for the bs around the ps3

So nokia kinda needs to pull its head outta its ass!

@nkav,

Yup, I felt the need to spread my disappointment lol

Here is something I added on another site.

It is just an n85 rehash - there are loads of solid, reliable nokia models.

It’s not just about pushing the specs - having an n82 successor and xenon flash is not a big ask. We should have seen this ages ago.

It is disappointing because we know Nokia can make amazing phones and they are resting on their laurels. Fans are usually harsh on companies (like Nintendo) because they don’t meet the high standards they themselves set.

Like Wesker from Resident Evil 5 says - Poor performance indeed!

As a nokia fan, I'm sure I'm not the only one, to say - WTF?!!!

This should have been the n85 - what a joke, no xenon and 8gb is standard - we should be looking toward 32gb. Nokia is really lagging behind.

I won't be upgrading to a Nokia anytime soon.

I can only hope they sort out their act and have a surprise on the way, but I highly doubt it.

Hi,

1st time poster here!

Im kinda confused, nokia have boosted up a n85 (good starting point) and turned it into highly polished product but why the heck did they leave the screen the same size??

Surely alot of peeps use the pics catpured with the phone as a wallpaper??

And with every other company and its aunt currently increasing screen size this looks kinda half assed by by our Finnish friends

WHAT GIVES NOKIA?

This is really infuriating as i currently have a N95 (was a proud owner since day of release) and have been waiting with Zen like patience for a decent upgrade but the N86 (loooove the 8MP) is already starting to look kinda flawed!

Im just gona wait on the N97 now (im praying that by time of release they give it the N86 camera!)

Peace!

The N86 in White looks Brilliant an will definetly be my next mobile i will be getting,o.k Samsung started the 8 mega-pixel race, but the software on Samsung mobiles is not on Par with Nokia,Samsung make good looking mobiles but the features on there mobiles do not match Nokia anyway,

Like many people, I'm holding out for a N82 replacement with a xenon flash. If Nokia want to convince me that the new lens on the N86 combined with their latest 3rd gen LED flash is as good as xenon, I'm going to have to see some pretty conclusive proof.

Also, as according to the Nokia road that surfaced a while back, this is the N85 revamp. If that's so, then have we still got a 8mp, 3" screen, candybar Nokia to come too?....

Ok, we heard you the first time.

Nokia's argument, and reasoning behind NOT using Xenon, is in actual fact, new technologies being used in the N86 lens. Its the widest lens in any of Nokia's handsets, it's also been discussed in the Q&A today by Igor that these new technologies, increase the quality of low light conditions, thus the reason to no longer use the Xenon, asd the dual led has been proven in tests to perform just as well.

That being said, i would like to see proof of this myself, side by side shots in the same conditions for example. We have already see marks own photo case studies here with single, dual led's, and Xenon, but we really need to see some examples from this N86 before we can dismiss Xenon.

just my 2 cents

I am really deceived with Nokia.It does not take into consideration the suggestion of users like SE & Samsung does!They released an "8MP Cameraphone" that lacks a Xenon flash which is a basic thing in any cheap camera.The reason is the same as in Nokia N97.They are going to use the flash as video light.If they really wanted to to that ,they could have put the LEDs along with a Xenon flash like Sony Ericsson did in K850i & C905i!Now we wont be able to get neither a good photo nor video in the dark.It will still have the blueish tint that we get when using LEDs in the dark.The photos in the dark are going to su#* even if the phone has a 3rd generation dual LED flash.Dual LEDs can't be compared to a Xenon which is way brighter than LEDs.

They could also have increased the resolution of the OLED screen from a standard QVGA(320x240) which is already outdated to atleast one like in the new Nokia 6260s which has a HVGA(320x480).At 2.6in”,it does make a difference when seen with the naked eyes.The 6260s screen has doubled the number of pixels N86 8MP has!The images looks finer on that display and its perfect for web browsing.

Nokia is no more what it was 3 years ago,when it released the Nokia N95.They can no more impress us.They just make the same phones with minors changes in functions & change in its design.Nokia then sells it at almost double the price!They rely on their diminishing brand name for charging high price!

At this rate,it wont be long before seeing Nokia losing its first place to Samsung,HTC & Sony Ericsson who innovates all the time with novelties.Nokia is lagging behind in all departments.Be it camera,design,innovation,hardware,etc...If Nokia doesn't do anything right now,they are going to lose lots of Nokia hardcore fans and I am one among them....

the n86 is nice but not an n82 replacement. xenon flash would have been perfect, but they didn't. it kind of resembles the n97 but dual slides like the n95. now sony ericsson's 12.1mp shooter is a charm. i love nokia because of s60, but the new sony ericsson is running it, so i might just pick that baby up when released.

time to step up NOKIA.

Comparing Nokia with other brands as SE, LG and Samsung is quite childish.

Some comparing with SE 12mp and Omnia HD. If every phone company produce ONLY high-end phone, what will happen with middle or lower income people? And its the mid spec phone which contribute the most. Namely, nokia 6300 and n85.

Its easy to say if you got the money right?

Personally, i really like the design and spec of this n86, even i do own an n85 now. This is what you say originality.

Nokia users will understand, and tell me any other brand can provide service and software such as OVI, Nokia Maps, better or as good as NOKIA?

Nokia really keeping their play close to the chest.

Nothing can overcome the lack of xenon. The light burst that xenon creates to capture the moment without any blur is just not replacable.
I have started considering a switch from Nokia now. I have been sticking to my trusty N82 and will do so. But the moment someone comes with better screen resolution, 5MP xenon with QWERTY, they gonna have my cents.
Nokia has started stinking. How can they ignore (howsoever small this community may be) xenon lovers???

The problem is that Nokia is now only trying to match the competition and in doing so they are being beaten. The styling on this phone is awful - whats with the MASSIVE SPACE BELOW THE SCREEN. What we need is a cross between the n86 and the n97 with a xenon flash, hd video recording (at at least 60fps), OPTICAL ZOOM and a capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch. We also need some new cammera setting options, we been stuck with the current options for years - what about face detection, smile detection etc.

PLEASE NOKIA, WOW US WITH A PHONE LIKE YOU DID WITH THE N95 (Only with good firmware).
