*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N86 8MP

If you are wondering about all the complaints about where is the N86, it is because the boneheads at Nokia STILL havent released the NAM version for the US and cant even tell us when they will.

If the question is about the fading menus, I am sure if any of us ever get a N86 we can help you out....
 
Pretty disappointed......how many more N95 variants are Nokia going to release? I thought the N82 was a successful phone for Nokia. Why not update it? the N82 was such brilliance in cam performance, I don't understand this.

My guess is the next phone Nokia will release is probably the N98, which will be the N86 with 2.8in screen ;)
 
I'm there with you - The link to fatwallet does link to bing/dell's 15% off. It then doesn't show up when you add the item to the cart at dell. Dell has it at $80 off (at a cost of $419). I don't see the 15% off anywhere...
 
I hope it is, but I still think the build quality is yet to be determined. After all, there are only 3 or 4 people on HOFO that have this phone. And for only about 6 weeks on average. I would reserve judgement on the build quality (especially the slider) until the phone has been used by more people, for at least 6 months.
 
hi,
i have littel problem i have the unlock code for my new N86 (rogers) but i dont'y know for the last number in entering the code ... if it #pw+unlock code+1# or #pw+unlock code+7# or #pw+unlock code+(something elss)# ??? can some one help me ...
 
i have nokia messaging, internet radio running, web browser, skyquikey, log, garmin xt, handy taskman all open right now and i have 31.8mb of ram free.
 
Nokia corp i think is getting big and lazy. It should put R n D effort into one or two killer phones, than playing marketing zig zag like this. With 12 Mp Idou from SE teasing us, and Samsung OmniaHD kicking around with its 720p high definition recording ability, Nokia is playing a losing game.

Folks, keep your current Nokia phones running well. They will become nostalgic, and perhaps in the next 3 or 5 years they can be good collection for your own private cellular phone museum! :lol:
 
aargh this sucks then, I don't want to update as the 20 fw cant be hacked. There is the OTA option to keep the hack but when I attempt an OTA update it say there is nothing available. Can anyone else confirm they are having this problem and does the new firmware fix this issue?
 
THIS IS TRUE, but when the n85 came out i had an earpiece issue so i returned it,then the dpad looked slightly raised so i returned that because of all the horror stories and now the one i have is solid, similar to the iphone 3g people went thru 3 or 4 just to get one that is good for them because build quality aside the phone itself is great i personally say best of the nseries build quality aside of course. :buddies:
 
Got my n86-3 from amazon yesterday. It does NOT have the video cable. Now im worried. Do I really have the Us version? How can I check the frequencies? Also will the n86 nam version work with t-mobile?

Hope someone can chime in. The phone just surfs in EDGE.


EDIT : Also noted that it doesnt have the cool huge clock screen saver loaded either. I looked everywhere for it. I ended up downloading off the web. Its a swf file so its a flash screensaver. What blows about that is that it doesnt stay on longer then 60 secs. FAIL.
 
2 questions about the N86 that might influence my upgrade decision. How's the screen legibility of the screen? The OLED screen on my N85 looks brilliant but very poor when I'm outdoor :( I heard that Nokia improved that on the N86. Also is the N86 fingerprin- prone? Does it have the anti-fingerprint coating like the iphone? I found that my N85 is always covered with my fingerprint.

I want the white one more because all my older phones are black. It's nice to have a change. :o I think the white will look very nice with the indigo theme.
 
just wondering if any of you guys know who has the best price on the n86......or is it worth waiting for a better price later this month around thanksgiving or when the n97 mini and n900 comes out...
 
Thanks. I changed the theme to default. The options are readable now without having to highlight them. I was using the OnlyBlackV7_default theme. Unfortunately that didn't solve the camera problem. The camera software freezes until the internal shutter closes. When I choose the icons on the right, for example, "switch to video mode", "scene modes", "flash mode", "self-time", etc. the descriptions stay on screen. Before the description would be gone once I've moved to another icon. I have school and will try resetting it at home tonight.

I figured that out last night as I indicated in my other post. I thought the weekly option was for Monday through Friday.
