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.

You can carry on a conversation, or reply to a message send earlier. Once installed, it sets itself up in the Contacts for easy use. The replacements go on: Downloads! will now be replaced by OVI Store. The OVI Store launcher will be preloaded and the actual client is available for download at OVI. Along with the firmware update Nokia announced the upcoming exhibition of the photographer David Bailey.

As you might have guessed, all the images will be taken AT NIGHT with the Nokia N86 8MP. The campaign called “Alive At Night” is part of the ongoing Nokia efforts to showcase the Nokia N86 8MP imaging prowess in the dark (even without a xenon flash). Point is how many of us agree to it??

Try taking snaps with N86 In night and do post your comments!!

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.

Now Charlie over at NokiaConversations has managed to get his hands on a Nokia N86 8MP. So Charlie in order to mark the ocassion, went to Helsinki to take some pictures and videos with his brand new Nokia N86 8MP.

Charlie loved the Nokia N85 and he says the Nokia N86 8MP which is a tweaked N85 with a superb 8MP camera has now become his favourite device.

He has posted a video and several photos taken by the Nokia N86 8MP. He says he will leave it to the readers to judge the quality but he says don’t be too harsh as he is not a pro-photographer either.
