Nokia N86 8MP, on the go multimedia device

Nokia N86 8MP Indigo

Nokia have not really had any phone that was a true multimedia viewing and capturing device but with the Nokia N86 8MP it is all set to change.

First off let’s start with the capturing. With a 8 megapixel sensor coupled with a wide-angle Carl Zeiss lens you are starting to performance comparable to a stand alone camera. The phone also comes with a built-in dual LED flash which gives you great battery life and allows you to shed some light on those dark situations.

Once you have created a quality video clip or snapped a few images you can easily share your work with high speed connectivity a standard feature on the phone. This is something I really think that a whole lot of manufacturers have left out and it is something that Nokia have got perfectly right.

With data being so important these days and with more information wanted from every little place giving users as much as possible is a must. The N86 8MP saves all location data into images such as longitude, latitude and the direction you were facing so that this data can be passed onto the people who view them allowing them to know exactly where the photo was taken. Geo-tagging has grown in popularity especially with Google Earth allowing you to view media from a specific location.

Other than a great imaging device the N86 8MP comes standard with all the great bells and whistles that a new phone should have. 3.9 hours talk time, 8 GB internal memory extendable to 24 GB with a 16 GB microSD card, WLAN support, bluetooth and a 3.5 mm stereo jack which is both the headphone plug and supprts TV-out.

The N86  8MP also comes with a built in GPS device which works brilliantly with Ovi Maps and has voice navigation making sure that you get to your destination quickly and on safely.

The phone is already available in South Africa and will cost a little shy of R7000.
