![]() ![]() Nokia N86 was one the first to feature an 8-megapixel camera with amazing image quality. The AMOLED screen actually gave it a relatively better color, and saturation as opposed to its predecessor. The screen is a scratch resistant AMOLED 2.4 Inch with 240×320 resolution, which, by then has been used over and over for Symbian S60v3 phones. Nokia made a wise decision by using the standardized microUSB port along with a 3.5mm jack instead of its proprietary ports. The sides have the volume rocker, lock button and camera shutter – a button absent on most phones today. The back houses the enormous, by yesteryear’s standard, 8MP camera. The front looks a lot like Nokia N97, front camera, Menu, Clear, Call, Cancel, Options and Back. Comparing it into a present device it is definitely thicker. ![]() Sliding gives you the telephone keypad and The dedicated gallery and music keys.

Back then, I hardly knew anyone who had this device and when my friends saw I had this phone about a year ago, they all thought it was a new release!

Software was obviously not Nokia’s strong suit so it, presumably, went to develop phone’s hardware and release one of the first 8MP Camera and arguably, the best non-touch and non-qwerty phone to ever be released. Nokia was running on a relatively outdated OS and performance wise, it was having a hard time catching up with the aforementioned rising Stars. On 2009, feature phones were mostly touchscreen and Nokia’s releases are hardly seen on top. The dawn of touchscreen phones was approaching as Apple and Android was slowly but surely taking over. As the decade of the new millennium comes to an end, so does telephone keypad phones. ![]()
