Although the Nokia N86 does bare a lot of design similarities with the other N series phones, there are some difference.

Obviously the most attractive feature that you get is the 8-megapixel camera, which includes dual LED flash, 20x zoom, as well as Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. In addition to taking still photographs, this camera will also record video at 30 frames per second. If you want to enhance your photos, this phone comes with a built in photo editor.

Some additional features that come with the Nokia N86 smartphone is a personal organizer that includes a calendar, text to speech text reader and much more. For viewing Microsoft documents, this phone comes with QuickOffice, though if you want to edit documents you will have to buy the upgraded version.

The call quality that you get with the N86 Nokia is excellent, including when you are using the speakerphone; calls sound loud and clear and reception is good. The battery rating for this phone is 6.9 hours of talk time and 11 days of standby time.

The latest Nokia N86 smartphone isn’t very budget friendly, but if you compare prices online you might find a cheap Nokia N86 that you can afford.
