N86

[Zangetsu]

@KaranTh85- Voice navigation while walk & drive is free. You need gprs for Agps only which in turn helps get the gps lock much faster. Its not a must have though as ovi maps can be used offline as you can copy all the maps & voice data on your phone's internal mass memory or memory card. Univercell is showing the latest price of N86 as 18k only which is much much more than a steal btw. Ofcourse it costs more in Maharashtra cos of more vat..

Thanx yogi....Btw i bought nokia 5233 which s60 5th edition fone.....
& has nokia maps 3.0 installed....but i am confused between Ovi Maps & Nokia
Maps ??? & can i download nokia maps/ovi maps & use it with voice navigation...

Finally Hacked my N86 with phoenix. It had some problem with vista. Installed TTPod and Animation Menu Plus.

Good news for all us N86 owners- Firmware ver 30 is coming in next week .. Its been tuned up to the max for stability as well as few new software elements have been added like ovi maps is being included in firmware. So pls uninstall the latest ovi maps before updating your phone firmware. Also image processing algorithms have been tuned to max so we can expect a slight improvement in imaging as well which is already excellent to say the least.

Also since N86 has UDP ( user data preservation ) , all those people who have hacked their N86 using PNHT method , need not worry as the hack will be carried due to UDP as well as all the apps , games , settings etc..

Thanx a lot for this update. Sad news is that, I broke my N86's kickstand day before yesterday. I was watching a movie while on bed and accidently slept on it. Found it out in two pieces yesterday morning

 

[yogi7272]

Guys check it out. Ver 30 for N86 is available on NSU as well as FOTA update . I have updated mine and everything is working fine ..

Guys.Dont get the N86. It has some hardware problems and is facing mass recall and shutdowns in shops across the globe. Brace yourself for trouble if you get one.

Dealers and repair centres report a high number of faulty Nokia N86 coming in for repair, suffering similar problems experienced on the N900 and N97

Nokia’s N86 handset has come under fire from for hardware issues with its microUSB charging port. The complaints follow similar problems with its N900 and N97 devices.

Sad if its indeed true.. My N86 is 10 month old and I am yet to suffer any hardware issue with it .. Even the slider is rock solid and no probs with micro usb charging port.. Hearing about this issue for the first time ..

@pushpipsu - Thank buddy for posting it ...

Now this is nice comparison between N86 and dedicated point & shoot cameras..

[Lucky_star]

So far, so good for me. The charger cable is soft and doesn't seem to damage the phone anyway. But the data cable which I got, the prongs are really tight. If I put them in, I have to pull it really hard to remove. So, I'm using another softer one from a 5310 Xpress Music model.

V30 doesn't seem have any visible differences to the V21. Picture quality is almost the same for me.

 

[yogi7272]

Excellent read about camera phones ..

@yogi m using the X10 .

 

[yogi7272]

@yogi m using the X10 .

Pls post few images in bright daylight , as well as some indoor shots and post it on imageshack pls ..So we can view it full size. What is the avg image file size ? Min to max ..

 

[dreamcatcher]

Sure. Will do. the min file size is around 2.5 mb and the max around 3.5 mb. Feeling a bit weird. I mean, I havent had a phone without a xenon for a long time now. k850,C905,Satio-> X10. But a blessing after the crippled Satio. Am never going for S60 again.
