It has been expected that Nokia won't miss the more and more meaningless megapixel race, so today we have taken into our hands N86, featuring an 8 megapixel camera. They had to spice it up with something else, so that they won't have just another camera phone besides Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson, so this is the first handset to have a 28 mm wide-angle lens.
It's this large
Of course this model has been made in cooperation with Carl-Zeiss and this is the first camera phone where we can change apperture (F2.4/F3.2/F4.8). Besides these N86 has all the extras from recent Symbian phones. It has a large 2.6" OLED display, it has WLAN, GPS and an FM-transmitter, it of course supports HSDPA, we can listen to music with any headset thanks to the 3.5 mm jack, and just like in the case of N95/N96, the cover can be slided in two directions.
28mm
The phone hits stores in Q2, its unsubstituted net price will be 375 euros. N86 is Nokia's answer to the other manufacturers, telling them that they have also entered the world of 8 megapixel phones, just when Sony Ericsson announced something even bigger, a 12 megapixel handset. It's a question though when that will be launched...
