Nokia N86

Thinking of getting one on Virgin media when my current deal runs. Does anyone have one and what do you think of it so far? Just ending a t-mobile contract with an awful Samsung that I have hated for the last 18 months and don't want to be stuck in the same situation again!

I've had one for about 3 month.
I've no problems with it. the battery lasts about 3 days. The screens good and clear, the wifi works everywhere I've tried it.
GPS works well with either Nokia maps (installed) or Google maps (downloaded).

Thanks Jon, The reviews seem pretty good but it's good to hear a layman's opinion too.

What is your signal reception like ? I have just upgraded to one from my 5800. The 5800 held a signal like a clamp. The N86 can barley hold a signal the bar is all over the place.

I can't say I've ever had a problem with signal. At home I'm on full (but I can see the mast from the upstairs window, so no surprise there).

But I've never noticed a lack of reception. I'll have to watch the bars for a while now !
