Nokia N86 8MP now official; ships in the second quarter for 375 Euros

Although only in the second day of MWC 2009, it did happen after all: Nokia has officially announced its very first 8 Megapixel handset, the Nokia N86.

Its full name is Nokia N86 8MP and, as we’ve already told you, it’s an Nseries smartphone that comes with a dual-slider design, resembling the already-available N85. 

Of course, the main attraction of N86 is its photo camera. Those 8 Megapixels rely on wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens that allow users to take panoramic pictures / sharp photos, even in low-light conditions.

The camera also has a dual-LED flash and a fast mechanical shutter, which should make images less blurry.

Furthermore, you can geotag photos and record video in VGA mode at 30 fps.

The official specs and features of Nokia N86 8MP include:

• Quad bands GSM/EDGE connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
