Nokia have gone huge lengths to produce the latest in camera phones. The N86 boasts a brilliant 8MP camera (the industry average is around 2 or 3MP with a few available at 5MP) with wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics. There’s video imaging too. “The aperture of the Nokia N86 8MP is comparable to that of a high-quality, stand-alone digital camera,” says Juha-Pekka Sipponen, Director, Nokia Nseries. “Whether it’s running with the bulls in Pamplona or capturing the panoramic beauty of a sunrise over Sydney, the Nokia N86 8MP will take brilliantly clear, wide-angle images that are instantly geotagged to be uploaded onto sites like Ovi Share or Flickr.”

8GB of internal memory means storage for up to 4000 images plus you can expand the storage with a microSD memory card up to 16GB.

As for the phone, it has an OLED screen with scratch-resistant glass, plays videos and has the latest version of Nokia Maps, a built-in compass and 3months license for voice and pedestrian navigation with location and picture sharing through geotagging. It can play 25 hours of music from one charge and can be coupled with the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-214, also just announced, with music downloading from the Nokia Music store.

It’ll cost around Euro375, be out in Q2 (April-June) and is certainly on my wishlist!
