Great video guys.

That screen looks absolutely gorgeous.

I just *really* hope they have sorted out the focus speed on this one.

Just noticed the FM transmitter in the menu as well there. Happy to see that in there.

This device is looking to be a Nokia classic… I just wish that there were more photo samples kicking around. Guess we’ll just have to wait until June.

Great video guys. Good work. The best overview of the N86 I’ve seen.

Told me that too (hence my comments in the video) but am dubious now.

No – not a hangover, but only about 4 hours sleep… You should have seen Dan!

We did take a test image (http://tr.im/gByJ) but as noted elsewhere it's not great… possibly the failings of a prototype phone (which this was). However, the sample images we've seen which Nokia say were captured with the phone are seriously wow… Don't think 8MP matters, but the flash, shutter, wide angle and operating speed all make it an excellent imaging handset. Sadly these factors will be overlooked by many.

The product manager (or was it a PR person?) had told me that it was a typo…sounds unlikely, doesn't?

Ben,

Bless you, did you have a hangover? You looked like you were in pain in the video.

Did you take any photos with it? Is the 8 megapixels really an improvement or not? Do tell.
