14 DAY TRIAL // Only a day after Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia went live with the support pages for its Nokia N86 8MP handset, we learn that the mobile phone is already shipping all around the world. The device, which is the company's best mobile imaging device, has received the TIPA Award for the Best Mobile Imaging Device in 2009, and has been recently spotted at FCC, yet the fact that it is coming to the shelves so soon is still a surprise.
According to Nokia Press Bulletin Board, the handset sports variable aperture, which allows it to deliver impressive pictures even when the light conditions are not the optimal ones. In addition, it also sports a fast mechanical shutter for shorter latencies, as well as Automatic Motion Blur Reduction, which should provide less motion blur. Compared to other camera phones, the new 8-megapixel behemoth from Nokia is reported to need only half the time to take a new picture.
