The Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has gone live with support pages for its Nokia N86 8MP mobile phone. The handset is a rather unique device coming from the company, as it includes an 8-megapixel photo snapper with Carl Zeiss optics, which should enable users to take high-quality pictures using one of the most amazing camera phones on the market.

The Nokia N86 8MP might be officially announced in the near future, both due to the fact that the support pages are now live, and because it has been recently spotted at FCC. As many of you might remember, Nokia announced the worldwide availability of its N97 high-end device only a few weeks after the handset was spotted at FCC and its web page went live, so the same might happen with the Nokia N86 8MP as well.

In case the Finnish maker follows the same pattern as with the N97, we should see the N86 8MP become official (if not available) in the following few weeks. The new mobile phone should retail for about $530 when available, which does not seem too pricey after all. Compared to the N97, which sells for $700 in full retail, the N86 8MP should be accessible to more users out there. The mobile phone also comes to the market with a 2.6-inch OLED screen, a dual-sliding form factor, instant access to the movie player, music player or photo viewer aGPS, FM transmitter, and more.

The main focus is on the high-quality camera (as it happens with other similar devices, such as the 12-megapixel Samsung Pixon12), which includes enough technologies and features to leverage the user experience. Hopefully, the handset will indeed make it into the wild in the near future, and will also become available in a variety of markets, just as the N97 will.
