Nokia's handsets have always been popular and as Matt mentioned, this isn't exactly new, it's one of those handsets that kinda passed us by originally but is definitely one worth reviewing as the N86 seems to have remained as a quite a popular handset...
Nokia's N86 has had quite a few mixed reviews and has even been called 'ugly', but I was quite impressed with it! I found it to be a stylish and robust handset which I would be quite happy to show off! The Nokia N86In general it's one of the simpler sm...

While many mobile makers in the smartphone game have been concentrating their designer firepower on touchscreen devices, the Nokia N86 8MP rolls in as a successor to Nokia’s previous generation of Symbian S60 3E-packing heavyweights rather than as anot...
The Nokia N86 8MP isn’t the sort of smartphone that moves the genre on. Its size is going to be an issue for some, and its S60 3E user interface is beginning to feel old hat. But its 8Mp, mechanical-shutter camera will appeal to photographers -...

Back in February, Nokia revealed its first 8-megapixel cameraphone – a basic update of the N85 (a phone we always rated as vastly superior to the N96).For some reason, it has taken ages to actually get the phone on sale, although Nokia may have been de...
Series 60 has been around a while, but as long as Nokia keep using it in well-designed handsets it will continue to be the phone of choice for a large number of users. If the N85 was a great phone, the N86 is even better. The camera is excellent, with...

In a day and age where feature-packed, touch-screen smartphones dominate the upper tier of the mobile phone world, you cant help but feel Nokias N86 8MP looks a little out of place. Though it offers a reliable interface, a decent features list and an 8-megapixel camera, its hard to get excited about a phone with a price tag that puts it in the league of some of the best touch-screen smartphones on the market. Nokias N-Series phones have previously set the benchmark when it comes to multimed...
