*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N86 8MP

i just got one from rogers and could not believe how buggy and slow the os was! everytime i would make a change to a setting in mfe the device would become unresponsive for minutes at a time. it was brutal! I finally debranded it and it is better, but i remember the unlocked one i bought a couple of months ago to be faster on the old firmware. i would say if you use exchange email use the old firmware, but if not upgrade and debrand
 
Yeah, but the N85 claimed to support WMV and I've only found one WMV file that will actually play on it. All the rest don't play at all :(
 
Exactly that's why a lot of people went over to the E71. The one major selling point I see on these newer phones is the fact that they have S60 3rd FP2 which are all basically tweaks that they could do but won't make available for FP1 phones(stupid). This is what I don't understand with Nokia is how past phones that are released don't set a precedent standard for their up coming phones. For example they have released a phone with xenon flash (n82), they released a phone with OLED display(N85 right?), and then a phone with touch scroll wheel (N7? something). Any phones released after those should have all those hardware features in it with those hardware features then trickling down to their cheaper phones. Too bad we cant choose and pick a build your own Nokia phone out of the hardware features they have. It is also sad to see that the new "communicator" is the E75 it downgrades to a small screen and I would think a smaller keyboard. I feel Nokia is about a year or two late with releasing phones with a slide out qwerty keyboard they should have implemented this on the N95 instead of the dumb slide for "multimedia keys" which I cant even use for anything else other than music, wish I could use them as buttons for games on N95-3.

I know for sure, after I am done using my N95-3, I won't be buying another Nokia. A reason Nokia keeps pulling these stunts is because as someone else puts it "nokia fanboys" will buy each iteration of a new phone they buy. I have seen a lot of people on these boards go from N95/n95-3/n95-2/N82/E-71/N85 all in a span of within less than 1 year. At prices of 500-700 each phone that is almost like getting a new computer each time except it is easier to do so with a phone because it is compact. Do people see these phones as disposables?

I won't be a lemming anymore and just go get a new Nokia. I for one waited a good 4-5 years to update my old 6620 only to see that some change occurred with the Nokia s60 but not much innovation wise while other OS's are moving up. If Samsung is really going to ramp it up with their s60 devices I will consider them along with HTC, WebOS palm and Android platform for a future phones.
 
Guys, is it just me or their is pinkish spot in these pics shot by N86 v21 at 8mp. What you think about image quality? Is N86 really the best Camera smartphone in the market?



 
They're cameras, this is a phone. LEDs are cheaper (why nokia did it im sure), and more energy efficient. Yes they've used them before, but if the n82 wasnt zenon, they wouldnt have sold many. . .

Another thing to think about it compromise. Dual LED is good for pictures AND video. Zenon is GREAT for pictures, but unusable for video.
 
Yeah sure.. At least you have saved station.

While us NAM users makes the app useless. Who knows when we'll gonna see a NAM F/W. :disappoin
 
No matter whatever you do, N86 cannot take better pics then Pixon12, period! BUT as I said earlier, N86 makes up for it's shortcomings by being a smartphone and it's a better buy because of the price. Hardware is useless if software is not implemented properly!
