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.

Nokia N86 8MP Preview-GSMArena

A preview of the Nokia N86 8MP by GSMArena staff. They start off by giving us an introduction of the Nokia N86 8MP in which they state that it’s been a while since they saw a cameraphone as revolutionary as the Nokia N86 8MP.

Nokia has been behind in the mega-pixel race for quite sometime and they still are. But the wide-angle, variable aperture, mechanical shutter camera changed the way we think of shooting stills with cameraphones much like the Omnia HD reshaped the digital video recording on a mobile phone.

The goodies on board the Nokia N86 8MP make quite a count, including but not limited to a 2.6-inch AMOLED screen, dual-slide form factor, an active kickstand, 8GB of internal memory, a microSDHC card slot, FM transmitter, Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity and a digital compass, a 3.5mm audio jack and TV out. There’s also quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA support for a truly worldwide voice and data roaming.

Nokia N86 Review-Mobile Review

Eldar Murtazin, the creator of Mobile Review has written a review on the Nokia N86 8MP. He had written a preview of the Nokia N86 before but that was of a pre-production unit. Now since he has got his hands on the final release version of the Nokia N86 8MP, he has written a full-fledged review for us.

He starts off by saying Nokia planned to release the Nokia N86 8MP as the N85 8MP similar to the Nokia N95 8GB and N95. He says it may be because the users were disappointed with the issues of the N85 and Nokia didn’t want them to think that this handset was the same. Nevertheless, he says the N86 8MP has excellent build quality.

He says that the N86 8MP is a refurbished N85 both in terms of build quality and camera. It’s Nokia’s Imaging Flagship. Nokia says it doesn’t believe in the Megapixel race saying it’s better to focus on the Lens Quality, Algorithm etc.
