A new comer from Nokia 8 Megapixel snapper is on its way to capture lot of hearts, all set to be released in Second quarter of year, which is quite far-off ( so they are going to have a hard time maintaining the hype around it).
Seems to be the replica of N85 with the same OLED screen, what makes it different from N85 is the 8 Mpx camera (with the side stand , remember you saw that in N96 too)
Nokia should have experimented with the Kickstand to give it a unique look like SE w995 has done. Though nokia is pioneer with this concept..still..it would have been good to see something different.
Nokia N86 gets an Update!!!

Nokia have just released a new firmware update of it’s camera phone flagship, the Nokia N86 8MP.
The Nokia N86 software version 11.043 promises better imaging results especially in video recording, low light pictures are also improved. The same goes for the Browser, Share Online, and the Settings Wizard.
SW update is a small application that is used alongside the separate Download applications to bring updates and firmware upgrades to the Nokia N86 8MP. It’s one of those apps you need to manually check.
Doing so, I’ve just found there are two new updates located there and ready to be downloaded by all users. You can get these updates OTA (Over The Air) or make the most of the built-in Wi-Fi connection. The updater allows you to get hold of Ovi Maps 3.1 and Conversations 9.20. Nokia Maps 3.0 will be replaced by version 3.0.1 and the phone will offer better maps experience in landscape mode. This is a slight step-up in terms of functionality that was offered with Ovi Maps 3.0, including 3D buildings, improved traffic and pedestrian data, as well as enhanced performance. Conversations 9.20 is Nokia’s own social media networking tool that allows you commute with others in an Instant Messaging environment.
