Nokia 8 Mpix N86 specs leaked

A new Nokia flagman N86 has 8 Megapixel camera with autofocus, Xenon flash and, obviously, Carl Zeiss lens.

The design of N86 seems to be drawing its roots from both the N97 and the N85, so it’s a handset that looks fairly good.

Even more, the camera comes with a 3rd generation dual-LED flash, a mechanical shutter and the ability to record VGA videos at 30 fps.

The known specs and features of Nokia N86 include:

• 2.6 inch AMOLED non-touchscreen, scratch-resistant display with (only) 240 x 320 pixels


• Symbian S60 3rd Edition, FP2
• Quad bands GSM/EDGE connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
• Tri band HSDPA connectivity (850/1900/2100 MHz or 900/1900/2100 MHz)
• GPS and A-GPS
• Wi-Fi
• 3.5 mm headset jack
• FM transmitter
• TV out
• 8GB of internal memory
• MicroSD card slot

Starting the second quarter of 2009, Nokia N86 should be available for sale, in at least two color versions: black and white. No pricing details for the moment, but we’ll unveil them as soon as they emerge.

A new really smart and extreme smartphone - i-mate 810-f

Not just any old smartphone, the i-mate 810-F could walk into the toughest boozer in town, confident of emerging unscathed several hours later.

Yes, this is the tough guy of the smartphone world, built to US military standards and able to cope with pressure, heat, water, humidity and even extreme shock without a dip in performance. And just in case you happen to working in extreme climates, the handset is good for a chilly -10°C or a sweltering 60°C, the former quite useful in the current cold snap.

While that no doubt appeals if you happen to be planning a trip up Everest or a an adventure along the Amazon, the majority of us just want to know if it's any good for email and calls. And you know what? It just might be. A Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a 624Mhz PXA processor and high-speed HSDPA connectivity, it offers a full QWERTY keyboard, a 320 × 240 touch screen, 2.2GB of storage, a video-friendly 2 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, a digital compass and Bluetooth. A specification every bit as solid as its casing.

And if it does happen to let you down, i-mate is offering a lifetime warranty, replacing the 810-F without a quibble. Look out for it in the coming weeks for an as-yet undisclosed price.
