Nokia N86 in 8 Megapixel

The Nokia N-series slider boasts a Carl Zeiss lens, AutoFocus, dual-LED flash and Symbian S60, not to mention a 2.6-inch OLED display, 8GB of internal memory, a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, microUSB connector and Share on Ovi integration. We're left in the dark when it comes to pricing and availability, but we're hoping to hear more really, really soon.

The N86 is Nokia first’s 8MP camera (Sony Ericsson has release 12MP one). Actually MP doesn’t matter because you are not going to print that large photos anyway and they do take up a lot of space. Personally I think 3.2MP is the ideal one.

Design wise, it is similar to Nokia N97 design style but I think that N97 design is much better.

Both the Nokia N86 8MP and N97 will be out before June 2009 accordingly to the spokes person. Finally the N97 prototypes are in Singapore.

There is also TV out, a microSD card slot, 8GB of storage and a dual slider keyboard,
with camera controls on one end and keypad on the other.

The Nokia N86 will go on sale for around 375 Euros about $475
without a mobile phone contract.

New Twisty Phone

Another new mobile phone with a strange new form factor debuts in South Korea. SK Telecom, the largest mobile carrier in Korea, has released photos of an in-house designed handset, the Pantech & Curitel PT-S170.

Details are limited, but the PT-S170 appears to be a camcorder phone that slides, folds and swivels, which in my book is just plain greedy.

I’m a big fan of twisty form factors, but surely this is taking the twist just a little too far? Oh, who am I kidding, I’d still buy the thing (sucker!)
