The Nokia N86 is a pretty small device. By Nseries Standard atleast.
Just to show y’all, here’s a couple pictures of it versus the Nokia E72.
Front View (Slide Closed):
As you can see, the N86 is almost the same size as the E72. Both have front facing cameras, a earpiece and a light sensor at the top.
At the bottom, the N86 has Green and Red calling keys, and the new Nseries Slanted Menu button and it’s Dpad. The N86 has it’s Dpad, “C” delete key, and its left and right selection keys under it’s 2.6″ AMOLED screen. The E72 has a 2.36″ standard LCD Screen and a Full Qwerty keyboard below it, along with a left and right selection key(s), 4 shortcut keys (3 customisable), and white Calling keys. It also has an Optical Navi-key which also works as it’s Dpad.
Front View (Numeric Slider Open):
The N86 slides open to reveal an Alphanumeric Keypad.
Front View (Dual Slider Open):
The N86 has a Dual-Slider Mechanism, which slides open to reveal it’s Media Keys at the top.
Back View :
The N86 has an 8 Megapixel Wide Angle Variable Aperture Carl Zeiss lens, with a sliding lens protector and Dual LED Flash at it’s back. The E72 has a stainless steel back panel, next to it’s 5 Megapixel standard Nokia lens with a Single LED Flash. It’s single Loudspeaker is also situated here.
Left View :
The N86 has its sliding-keypad-lock-switch on the left side. The E72 has its microUSB port here (can be used to charge the device also) and it’s microSD port here, both covered with a hard plastic flap.
Top View :
Both devices have their power buttons, and 3.5mm Audio Jack here. The N86 has it’s microUSB port here, which is also used to charge it.
Right View :
The N86 has it’s dedicated camera button here, along with their zoom in/out (doubles as volume increase/decrease) keys. These keys also appear on the E72, which also has a “mute” key in the middle.
Bottom View:
Both devices keep it minimal with no ports at the bottom. The E72 though, has it’s standard Nokia charging port here.
