*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N86 8MP

Thanks! :buddies:


I can see if they said they want a qwerty keyboard phone over a regular keypad phone for faster typing. And also want a business phone (E-series) over a multimedia phone (N-series). But to say the N86 software is boring and old over the E72 doesn't make any sense at all.
 
iPhone 3g camera is horrible! Enough said. We are yet to try 3gS ,but it could be better than E71's camera, I don't even bother turning on E71's camera, it would be unfair to my Innov8 :hehehe:

Back to N86, I can't wait to get my hands on it, two more days.Finally a capable shooter after N82.
 
Count me on on those comments"TouchFLO". A cheapo digicam is still far better image quality than a phone cam. Xenon makes no difference. Nor Chromium. Nor Aluminium. Nor Titanium.

Does that mean I work at Nokia too? Cool, somebody tell them so they can pay me!
 
ummmm, NO grinding, but I am seeing faint "scratch" lines over the "8" "9" "0" and "#" keys after a month, but definitely not as critical as the 'lens cover' issue on the N97's. Just loving the N86 ... (thank goodness I'm happy with TMO) :clapping:
 
Do you still have the c905? I think it's going to be discontinued because of ongoing issues. I think the N86 will be more stable and build quality will be a lot better.
 
no.. I re-branded it to att fw after 5 days and returned it (less the $35 'restocking' fee) for a refund.

My n82 is the benchmark that I compare to any other phones that I get. :) If the n86's build quality is even 80% of the n82, then it's a keeper for me.
 
yeah... sorry i keep asking about mods...

its due to me owning SE phones for the last few years. and beign able to mod then and swap out drivers and change the UI alot. Im completely new to symbian, so forgive me if i say/ask stupid things!
 
I have played with a Nokia N86 before...

These are my reasons for buying this phone:

*Finally.. A Great Built quality phone, with good plastic materials. No more creaking noises.

*The Camera of course..

*The spacing on the keys.. (Looks similar to SE keypads) But their very good in tactile feedback.

*This is what the N96 should have been..

*OLED display..

So far so good, these are my interest points on this phone..
 
If I'm not mistaken, the low memory warnings is due to low RAM, not the amount of applications you have saved.

You probably can't have many things going at once, i.e. no multi-tasking. Just do one thing at a time, close the app, and so forth.

"Smart phones" in 2010 with only 128 MB of RAM on board, and only 30-40 after boot, are inexcusable.
 
AMEX just called me because Nokia submitted multiple charges for approval today - all I have outstanding is my N86 pre-order. Called Nokia, and while they still keep saying the same thing about my order being "submitted", she did check with some other department and came back to say that they routinely resubmit pre-order charges for authorization to make sure the customer is still interested and has available credit.

Hmm - i will be optimistic and think that they might actually be getting ready to ship the thing today....but I am not holding my breath!
 
Pixon 12 is advertised to have 28mm wide angle lens,but in reality it has 30 mm wide angle lens and this has been verified by gsmarena people only. pixon 12 at 8 mp setting compared to N86 ver 20 firmware would be really interesting. :cool:
 
It should support them right now. If it can address an 8GB SDHC card, it can address a 32GB as well. A one-up to SDHC will most likely rolled before triple digit storage issues come into play.
 
First, under all circumstances, natural light is better than flash, because is well....natural. It is real life. Even the best flash only tries to fake naural light.

To not need a flash, you would need a camera that takes in ALL available light. This requires a sensor and lens that are perfect in light conversion efficiency. This doesnt exist.

However sensors and lenses do exist that take take in far better amounts of light than typical stuff. Eg medium format or full frame DSLR sensors - or in the lens arena, lenses that can do F1.4.

Of course phone manufactuers are still fooling phone buyers with sensors the size a phonehole and plastic lenses worth about 5 cents. And then they wave nonsense like "Xenon flash" and people go nuts.

I assure you if they put a better sensor and lens in a phone, you wont care what the flash is. I mean do you ever read digicam websites and see anyone discussing whether their Canon Powershot has Xenon or LED flash? Give me a break.

Moreover, phoen cameras are supposed to be spur-of-the-moment items - the more you can put it a decent lens and senson so you can just take a picture and get on with it, instead of stopping things then wasting time with an innefective flash, the better anyway.

They have folks totally diverted from the issues over here.

Get better lenses and sensors in these things - forget the xenon vs LED nonsense.
 
The imaging flagship should have xenon, especially if they are going to implement other high-end "features." If they wanted to include LEDs for video, they should also include the xenon for night shots. It just looks like they are pinching pennies -

...before anyone says: "Wow, you just want everything," all I have to say in response to that is that the Sony Ericsson K850 and C905 have both.
