Welcome to the 8-megapixel club, Nokia. Nokia joined Samsung, LG, and Sony Ericsson today by introducing an 8-megapixel camera phone, the relatively petite N86 8MP.
The N86 8MP is in many ways like Nokia's N85 Symbian-powered smart phone, including having a super-bright 2.6", 320x240 OLED screen. The N86's star feature is an 8-megapixel camera with a wide-angle Carl Zeiss lens on the back, that also captures 640x480 video at 30 frames per second. The camera has a two-LED flash, which is much brighter than a single LED.
Otherwise, the N86 is a Symbian phone with 8GB of internal memory and room for a MicroSD memory card. It runs on AT&T's 3G network, T-Mobile's 2G EDGE network and Wi-Fi. It has a TV-out port, stereo Bluetooth, A-GPS and an integrated FM transmitter. Like all Symbian phones, it comes with a top-notch Web browser, plays music and video, and supports a range of e-mail accounts, including Microsoft Exchange.
The Nokia N86 8MP will ship by June for around 375 euros ($473). US consumers should expect to be able to buy it through Nokia's flagship stores and Web site. Find out more on Nokia's site.
