Just a few days back we brought you the news that the Nokia N86 8MP support pages are online and you can expect the handset to start shipping soon. Well we got news from Symbian Freak that the Nokia N86 has begun shipping and is due to release withing the coming weeks.

The release of the Nokia N86 8MP will come a short while after the Nokia N97 release. Both will be in the market together but since they are directed at different audiences, sales of one device does not affect the other.

The Nokia N86 8MP has a lot of hype surrounding it due to the fact that it is the only 8 Megapixel Cameraphone from Nokia. The Nokia N86 8MP also received the TIPA Best Mobile Imaging Device of 2009 award.

The Nokia N86 8MP is expected to sell at an estimated price of 375 Euros before taxes and subsidies.

You can Pre-order the Nokia N86 from Nokia UK.
