N86, the 8 megapixel Nokia slider phone

It seems that Nokia wanted to prolong as much as possible the agony of those who were waiting for the first ever 8 megapixel Finnish cell phone. If the first day of the Mobile World Congress came as a disappointment as far as the highly anticipated release is concerned, the second has finally brought the official announcement.

The full name of the first 8 megapixel handheld is Nokia N86 8MP and it’s part of the Nseries smartphones family, being a dual-slider quite similar with another device that you’re already familiar with: the N85.

There is no doubt about the fact that the most important feature of this Nokia slider phone is the 8 megapixel camera which, combined with a wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics, converts the phone into one of the “best mobile imaging device”, irrespective of the light conditions.

Now, as far as the official features of the Nokia N86 8MP, they include: quad band GSM/EDGE connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), tri band HSDPA connectivity (850/1900/2100 MHz or 900/1900/2100 MHz), a 2.6 inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels and 16 million colors (it isn’t touch sensitive, but it comes with resistance to scratches), the Symbian S60 3rd Edition operating system, Feature Pack 2, GPS and assisted GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, an integrated compass, Wi-Fi, HTML browser, dedicated music and N-Gage keys, 3.5 mm headset jack, FM radio with RDS, FM transmitter, stereo speakers, full PC synchronization, an internal memory of 8GB and a microSD card slot for expandable memory of no more than 16GB.
Measuring 103.4 x 51.4 x 16.5 millimeters and weighing approximately 149 grams, the Nokia slider phone provides up to 6.3 hours of talk time, up to 312 hours of stand-by time, up to 25 hours of music playback and up to 7 hours of gaming.

“People demands mobile cameras that take excellent pictures in all light conditions”, says Juha-Pekha Sipponen, Director, Nokia Nseries. In addition, he said that “that’s why the aperture of the Nokia N86 8MP is comparable to that of a high-quality, stand-alone digital camera. Whether it’s running with the bulls in Pamplona or capturing the panoramic beauty of a sunrise over Sydney, the Nokia N86 8MP will take brilliantly clear, wide-angle images that are instantly geotagged to be uploaded onto sites like Ovi Share or Flickr”.

The phone is expected to start shipping sometime in the second quarter of this year. The retail price is estimated at approximately 375 Euros, before taxes and subsidies.
