What is the read/write speed of the phone? My old 8GB class 4 may be slower, but there are microSD cards that can read/write at least 45MB/15MB.
The data sheet says 16GB is the max size and so does the website.

Anyone that owns the N86 can confirm the a 32GB card works?

Yeah, something tells me I won't be getting this:
1- there won't be a nam version
2- ATT will get and ruin it
..I worry that these are my choices.

Sweet...that confirms it. Now I only have to wait a few weeks for it to be released and another month for the prices to stabilize-
I think it's pretty clear, for better or worse, that Nokia removed the Xenon, because the capacitor won't fit in a sliding form factor. And I think Nokia likes the sliding form factor, because it allows them to put bigger screens in the phones (which is probably a more popular feature than the flash, for better or worse). I'm not justifying this. But I do think there is a logic there which is not odd, but understandable.
That said, the Xenon may have been a big, if not the main, factor for the N82 at the time it was released. But I wonder if that logic will continue to play in the current market. I think the market for this phone probaby isn't N82 owners who want to upgrade. I think it's people entering the smart phone market or upgrading from a whole lot of different previous smart phones, who want a good smart phone and a good camera. They will have to look around at the current competition, not two year old models like the N82. What they will see, in camera phone competition, is the Sony Ericsson C905 and maybe the Samsung S8300 (I don't really know the Samsung phones that well). The Sony Ericsson does not have the greatest UI and OS and the Samsung will probably be a lot more expensive and to me they are often catch all phones that don't live up to the hype in actual execution and quality. So the N86 will stand out, perhaps, as a camera that can hold its own with the competition, but also the best all around phone in terms of other features with the most mature UI. And I think that is the customer for the N86. Justified or not, there will probably be a perception that the C905 has the best camera and for people who only care about that, that's the phone they'll get. If they're just looking at specs and want what seems like the latest and greatest, they'll get the Samsung. But if they want a solid all around phone that can hold it's own as a camera with the competition, it will be the N86. I'm not saying that this describes the actual pros and cons of these phones. I just think that will be the perception and that will be what drives the market. I think it's a mistake to assume that the upgrade path from previous N series phones is what drives the market and what determines the success of failure of a handset.

I didn't use the camera before upgrading to v20, but from what I've read there are substantial image quality improvements. Also, v21 apparently makes focusing much faster than previous versions, which I expect should help reduce the number of pics that come out blurry.

I guess its based on what you call a cheap digicam. Because some are crap.
This still goes back to the fact that most people dont carry their digital cameras with them everywhere they go. Unless you have a man purse. I have a tons of pictures that I have taken in the last year with my n82 that I would never have taken, since I dont carry my digital cam with me all the time.
If xenon doesnt make a difference, then show me comparison photos taken in low lit conditions with a non xenon phone and the n82. So far the n82 has kicked every LED phones ***. That is fact. So xenon must make a difference.
