The Nokia N86 is an efficient smartphone available in white or the traditional black version.  It’s the Finnish company’s first 8-megapixel camera phone and like all Nokia camera phones, it is good quality having minimal shutter lag and good resolution.

It boasts a wide-angle Carl Zeiss lens, panorama effect, dual LED flash and scene modes, which means that the N86 can compete easily with a dedicated digital camera.  You can also upload your photographs and share them with your friends, but this is only possible using Flickr and not any other social network.

The phone is marketed as a camera phone so it is quite surprising that there is no dedicated camera shutter button; instead you have to go through menu, applications then camera before it is launched. 

In line with most camera phones there is no optical zoom but you can use the digital zoom, as the image resolution is high enough not to ruin your shots.

The 2.6-inch screen uses Advanced Matrix OLED so that the screen is colourful and bright.

The phone is responsive and so tasks are completed quickly.  There’s a 3.5 mm headphone jack so you can plug in any old headphones to listen to your favourite tracks or the FM radio.

The battery life is better than average and there is also GPS, which works well on this handset.

The N86 is available on contract, pay as you go or as a SIM free deal.
