Shiny Review: Nokia N86

[JordanEmonds]

The n86 keypad buttons remind me of the old Motorola StarTAC buttons from years ago, a touch of retro ;D

[djsofsomercotes]

Best phone ive ever had,for me no other manufacturer can get any where near Nokia

[mihai96z3d]

lokia lol:)):))

[Stupafyinglogic]

Kickstand=Open porn xD

[alikhan1237]

Michael Jackson rocks.... u rock ma world :P

By the way very smart n nice phone

[MrSavy86]

viewty smart have shit camera. Check the review on gsm arena

[extr3m3psycho]

you are acting like a gay, and you are making this video in Iraq where its like Jet Aircrafts are moving .... and you are looking like you just sucked and Being Fucked hardcorely... so bad. u r sick moda fucka

[pistonsown101]

hey big ups on the vids. 1 question tho, is it hard(bordering impossible) to see the n86's screen under direct sunlight.? and uhh, dya know any other flaws that this phone apparently have.?

[zeds2ded]

This phone is now free with t-mobile for just 15 quid a month. At least you are allowed to do what you want with it and not have that Steve Jobs telling you what you can and can not do.

[zeds2ded]

Its 15 quid a month for free on t-mobile as I write this, so way good deal.

[ilovebeer79]

i sold my Iphone to get one of these! so ur comment about it not being as good was wrong, because iphones are jus s**t! this phone is much better u jus pay for the label with iphones!

[TheSawwik]

nokia n900 is better than n86

n900 have bigger scream and better look

[07liberian]

@TheSawwik I Have Both And I Can Tell You That The N86 Definately Has Some Advantages Over N900.

Nokia Is was Pretty Smart To Not Pack All The Features Found On The Other Nokia Phones In The N900, That Would Just Destroy The Sales Of All Their Other Phones.

[Keidoupe]

Cant u make this review in a much queiter place ? anyways nice phone im too poor to get it

[stlaurent75006]

Which photophone is the best N86 or Samsung Pixon 12 ?

[wa2wi]

love it

[carloenix]

i recently got the white n86, only to find out that the camera shutter button is stiff and unresponsive..i brought it back to the cellphone store and got the indigo version in exchange..accdg to the saleslady, they had a similar complaint about this..has anyone heard about the same problem on the white version?

[egngg27]

please give me that phone now

[Jaythed0n]

The only reason this phone is a little heavy is because of the amazing quality. It feels good + has a lot of metal on it.. none of that cheap feeling/looking plastic shit.

this is an amazing phone!!

[matto36]

Papa Paparazziiiiiiiii

[chileno39]

wait... so hmmm.. DAmn i bought the wrong one

[JuveTube777]

I don't care if phone is touchscreen or not... I care about the features... which n86 is one of the best.

BTW, Screen is 16 AMOLED  which is just ENOUGH!

[Alternator08]

OMG...I have to wait 'til June to upgrade....stuck with my old N81 :(

[sakubatzumatsu]

there are ppl who don't like touchscreenz.. im one of them! fm transmitter and good quality cam is enuf! n86 here i come!!! >=D

[Ryssak18]

thanks for a nice review, waiting for my nokia :)

[matto36]

Papa pAparazziiiii

[esadel]

this is better or lg kc 910??????

[ashtonkonon]

i am just wondering if i should get N86 or X6 16gb since they are about the same price range..???

any feedback??

[carloenix]

@ashtonkonon i was stuck in the same dilemma, but i opted for the n86..no regrets there..

[ashtonkonon]

@carloenix hey,.thx for the feedback...

now i am just waiting for the official N87 Vasco to come out

hopefully it is true not a rumor,....

but if it is a rumor then N86 will still be on my top list of phone choice

[nabilooov123]

yeah great phone

[almokalife]

good phone

[CMITRomanP]

Turn your smartphone into safe with Black & White Guard!

[rrookie25]

its too heavy and battery dont last long.

[07liberian]

Too Heavy??? You Must Be A Woman.

[rrookie25]

do you have any woman coz i need some ya na

[respectjohn]

@07liberian he sais this phone is too heavy for a phone of this size...he didn't say it is generally heavy...you and the 21 likes must have shit's stuck into your brain!!!!! so stfu and respect his time to review this mobile phone to your shitbrain's....

[zechreich]

@rrookie25 :

yes I'm agree this phone is too heavy 149 gr... no QWERTY keyboard and no Touch Screen, Standard battery Li-Ion 1200 mAh (BL-5K) not enough to making this phone as camera pocket...

[cradleofjohannes]

is this phone a touch screen too?

[BartholomaeusBaer]

no =)

[ayybee2cold]

no it dosent have a touch screen

[cyclops4real]

lot of nice games fro this phone

xtranok dottt net

[robertomarin]

Symbian is old, I agree, but it's not broken.

I think Maemo has a good, modern interface.

[unlokia]

Where were you filming; a building site?!

[jesuar]

I exchanged my iphone 2g 8 gb with this. I'm quite content to did it.

[wimbledon1]

nice rev iew but wierd conclusion - no-one would rate an LG over the quality of Nokia!!

[ChangeBobbyHipHop]

wich l to buy black or white???:P

[Icamppe]

I'd go for the white. I think it looks so much better! Really stylish and elegant : )

[ruddiato]

what i learnt as far as the megapixel is that more megapixel doesnt necessarily mean better quality

[07liberian]

It This Case It Does.

The Camera Is Incredible, Check My Page.

[amzo77]

Woot woot on monday this phone will be MINE!!!

Muahhahahahahahahh!!

[giggig7]

Nice song at the back "You rock my world" by King of POP.

[razoredge246]

iv got that phone with virgin media 25 a month and the phone is free :)

[mrLECHOO]

n86 !!!

I hate touch screen phones, they are more toys than usefull...

[MrChainsawJames]

is it touchscreen

[Sasukeuchihaskunai]

no it isn´t

[aindome]

nope!

[Efreet17]

n96

[FeanorBR]

Can anyone confirm if gaming on this phone using it's multimedia keys is good?

I'm asking this because plataform games in the N95's media keys were a gamer's nightmare! Those buttons were not meant for games AT ALL!

[livenok8]

What is better N96 or N86??? What should I buy?

[ApostleCreed10]

buy n86 got one no probs at all,n96 sucks bigtime specially at games..n86 photos and video are amazingly cool much updated.

[ashtonkonon]

wait for nokia N900 release date which is this upcoming october or november

go check it out~!!!!

[gokuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

I say nokia n86. do u see any different between them, just the camera is 8mp in n86 so that make it much better than n96.

[modysd]

n86

[xxxtiangarcia]

6220c has the same shutter thingy

[InteligentMan]

the keybord is fucking ugly or is it just me ?

[Azuboi]

[ApostleCreed10]

[sweetnssssssssssss]

[LAMBOSRULEOK]

[mkr10001]

nokai has been doing smart phone for years, before that little upstart came onto the scene.... fuck the iphone..its a piece of shite

[pompo9000]

thank you so much for your review.

Now i have 1 choice.^_^

n86 n86 n86 love it.

[888kan888]

[darrenc12pdg123]

I really dont mind thick heavy phones, :D

-dirtywords:(

[bethanBB]

That panoramic is the best ive seen!

[billyandtom]

MJ in the background WOOOOO!

[djball232]

pretty shit then really

[greatorderofchaos]

i saw this as a feature on youtube and...... get a life, whoo gives a shit about mobile phones. they dumb people down. makes me sick how people care more about a new phone than the world they life in arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

[elvisorbison77]

???

[EhmPeeFor]

Looks like a nice phone, carl zeiss lens as well.

But for camera i'd rather stick with a camera and not a phone.

[northieee]

prob ina yr time we are going to have 65MP phones

[FISHGOMOO4321]

I doubt it.

[puckinhell]

yawn, just get the iphone, job done!

[Xrayz0r]

Are you suggesting iPhone comes ANYwhere close to N86 in terms of being a solid camera phone?

[elvisorbison77]

WHY U IDIOT CRAP CAMERA

[SteveKong93]

tell me, which phone has camera that produces the quality that you want in a price range smae as a N86?

[PTLeisure]

The N82 camera is much better than the N86 and after just getting the N86 I'm now sending it back and going back to my N82 until the camera improves on the new phones.

Photo's are blurred if anything moves even slightly, the flash isn't as good as the Xenon flash on the N82 which makes night time photo's are a lot darker.

Nice phone but I mainly want to make calls, texts and take good photo's so the N82 wins on all 3 counts.

[Lostiano93]

Is true.

[Icamppe]

If you care that much about image quality you really ought to know that cameraphones just won't do the work for you. You get a decent pocket camera for 99 € (or dollars if you like) that's much better than a 600 € cameraphone. But of course I understand that you want phone and camera in the same device. But if you really care about the image quality that much (night photography is difficult even for the most advanced DSLR:s), having a cameraphone don't work in the long run.

[ruddiato]

as much as i hate to admit it,i agree,but u know, u kinda want everything in one lol!

[kurtie101emo]

is it touch screen xxx

[SuperScum88]

N86 has a GUN!!! :O

[kettech16]

the n96 has a kick-stand

[tellyb7]

The Nokia N86 has it also.

[famous789]

can the n97 snitch photos together ?

[lukewazea2k7]

whats the memory?crap?

[herocreature]

n86 8mp has 8gb of internal memory

[lukewazea2k7]

oh i see, quite nice then

thanks (:

[LecceDiPane]

looks exactly like my n96 but smaller

[mrbigtime81]

this phone has touchscreen?

[erijco]

580 euros

[bmr101]

Bad review. Why does this guy harp on about the iphone. BAD sound quality, TERRIBLE camera, no tacticle controls. But hey, you can download the 'pint of beer' app.

[zestyfork]

he doesn't harp on about the iphone...

he mentions it once, you dumb shit

and why shouldn't he mention it - knocks this bag of shit on the head

[KoolJayJ]

is the 2.6" screen big enough? and should i get this or the N97?

[IMNK]

well the diff btw the 2 phones are..

N97 Wider screen/touch.

N86 Higher MP/dbl slides.

[KoolJayJ]

so is 2.6" big ebough? does it really make much of a difference if i go 0.9" bigger?

[tven99]

This is a phone..n97 is a failed experiment like my stupid 5800.. n you will like n97s for a week but than u get fed up.. just my opinion.. this is way better

[george0harry0rymer0]

would you stop mentioning the viewty smart

[zestyfork]

he mentions is twice, bitch

[shas581]

exactly, tomcane8, the guy is a ifanboy and saying "not quite in the realms of iphone" doesnt understands this being aimed at non-touch cameraphone market and as far as it feats go it miles better than the ipoo he loves

[Horijemojejmeno]

super phone

[paice95]

THIS SUX!!!! IPHONE ROCKS!!!! jk Nokia beats the shit out of every other phone with one pinky finger.

[dnaida]

THIS PHONE ROX

SAMSUNGS SUX GUY

[HamsterDon]

Iphone is supposed to be a smart-phone? You gotta be kidding me.. the new one has got a 3mp cam, no flash.. nothing special except the apps you can download on it..... who needs an expensive cellphone contract to go online on the move.. the Nokia N86 on the other hand sucks some kinda.. I mean.. come one guys, we are talking about Nokia.. now look at the quality of the materials.. again, this is Nokia presenting us it's newest phone.. Samsung is a lot better

[tomcane8]

this guy that's reviewing the phone is an iphone lover and knows almost nothing about phones so he is in absolutely no position to judge

[SlurpSilencer]

Samsung sucks! It sucks!

[HamsterDon]

Samsung Omnia HD sucks??? well... anyways ;)

[lvecsey]

it probably saves battery power by not throwing up those bright pixels in the icon descriptions, once you get quick at navigating to the feature you need

[Bear13t]

I've played with this phone yesterday and to be honest, the 8mp is barely better than the new iphone 3GS and thats only a 3MP.. Weird.. I think this phone is very basic and not much fun to have to be honest. Very heavy/bulky looking.. just not my type of phone

[acurrie]

Thanks for the review... BTW, was that industrial music in the background or did you record this near some kind of factory?

;-)

[veitkid45]

how much is it and which company dose it work with t-moble at&t which 1?????

[BuddhaOn3Lov3]

its an unlock phone that run up to 500+ man

[veitkid45]

o okay but how much is it????

[kathyahm]

Nokia Siemens Network has confirmed it supplied Iran with the technology needed to monitor, control, and read local telephone calls. This is obvious a hand in killing Iranian people. DO NOT BUY NOKIA products PLEASE.

[sexysadie95]

wouldnt opening the kick-stand so many times break it eventually? is that something thats replacable? i dont know...

[EscapeNewJersey]

I have has 2 nokia phone and they have terrible reception and hang up in the middle of calls.

The best reception phone I have found are Sony Ericsson!

[sexysadie95]

did you ever think that it was at&t??

not the phone

[jefloni]

I think the bad reception problem only applies to some Nokia's US phones. I've never dropped a call on any phone in Europe so I can't say for sure.

[kevin15664]

the Motorola Zine is somewhat familiar to it, camera wise

[elchamber]

Why that location to do this video?

[steo2008]

when is the nokia n86 coming out . any dates on it yet.

[elchamber]

now

[karrar55]

uhhhh its already out!

[LuiWallentin]

I normally like the videos from Shiny ... But common: Stop with the artsy video style. It's just a big pain, and it don't make it anymore interesting

[greenvictor]

n95 is better my uncle have it

[tomcane8]

how is it better? have you tried both devices? have you personalyl actually tested them? so ignorant

[karrar55]

is it now!! lol!!

[todayon3g]

Well i got to use this phone for 2 days when i was invited to tour a Carl Zeiss factory earlier this week.

For the comment the phone is slow/laggy, not a chance!. I was blown away how fast the phone ran and this was a retail device not a prototype.

The camera is awesome, i did not take a camera with me, instead using the N86 for all the photos.

I Highly recommend this phone!

[tomcane8]

90% of mobile phones reviews with shinymedia are never 100% accurate anyway, especially with this Dan guy. If he doesn't like the phone, he tried his best to find fault. Katie, Susi and Kat were the best reviewers on here and they're gone now, shinymedia is slowly losing it's touch.

[tomcane8]

Oh and to prove my point, he said it's the first time he's ever seen a kick stand. The N96 had one. So either he doesn't even know about that (meaning he's thick) or he's just an idiot.

[Tmartella]

no touchscreen?

eh pass.
