I agree the phone features and setup are great but the phone itself has flaws I have had two also and both have had software and conectivity issues Now i think the Phone has died completely, Nokia knows of the problems but never bothered to notify the owners of issues nor did they offer Phone firmware updates. Not pleased with the reliability of this phone.

I have owned the Nokia 6086 twice. I love the the set up, and it's amazing with the wifi, however, I think it's defective. Both times I owned this phone, the screen went out. On the first one, the outter display stopped working first. Either the screen was completely blue, the clock or anything wouldn't show up, or it was a jumbled mess where everything was upside down or just half of it in one corner of the screen and half in the other. Then the inside display started flashing. Every few seconds the screen would flicker. After about two months of that, the screen went completely blue when I went to open a text message. It never went normal. I called T-mobile and they sent me a new Nokia 6086 as a replacement phone because I'd only had that since April, and it was only august. Then, about three weeks ago, that replacement phone had the same problem. Only, the outside display didn't do anything. It started directly with the inside display. I opened it to make a call and noticed the screen was flashing in and out like the other one. And since I knew I only had about a month or two till it completely crapped out on me, I got myself a new phone.

> In reply to Mic @ 2008-09-25 17:11 from 01chphones over $500 function awesomely, but theyll break so
fast u wont even be able to blink.i use to be usin the nokia 6610i its real cheap but it wont break, once it was on the floor charging something fell on it all that happend as that there was a a big white spot on the LCD.and i have actually tried throwing this phone down from like 6 feet in the air and nothin happend, not even a scratch.so in conclusion i say that expensive fones are coool but break in seconds and cheap fones are crap but but so strong u could throw it off the empire state building and it wont break.

> In reply to Robert T. @ 2008-09-09 06:06 from RYXYWell, Cincinnati Bell SUCKS and in general, the city of Cincinnati Internet network SUCKS. It is NOT YOUR PHONE! :-) I tell you what, you want nightmares -- try "hooking up" with another state for instance Indiana with Ohio! You think you have problems here in Ohio -- well, I am telling you that you have no idea how TERRIBLE the internet and technology is here in Cincinnati and/or Ohio concerning the internet and web. I mean, I was connected to a network at work through Cincinnati Bell and/or Time Warner and I have ALWAYS HAD high-speed / broadband / DSL / cable internet AND unlimited long distance, digital phone, etc. since probably 2003. MY INTERNET NIGHTMARES HAVE DISAPPEARED SINCE I DO NOT HAVE TO WORK WITH A NETWORK IN CINCINNATI, OHIO. BUT . . . now. . . I am working onsite here in Cincinnati and I can tell you that I cannot stand working on their "so-called" high-tech LOL network / internet / web!! It is a BIG JOKE!! I mean you should see how this things runs as compared to something REAL. But . . . then again . . . I guess you already know! :-) LOL -- I AM TELLING YOU CINCINNATI SUCKS BIG TIME!

i had the 6085 and it worked without any problems only the camera was bad, but it was fast and reliable. the only difference between it the 6086 is the wifi i think.

I had this phone since december last year (2007) and still working fine for me. I droped it many times, it has plenty of scratches but it still hangs on very good. It shows correctly the times of calls. No problems with the mic or speakers, nor with the display or battery. True i use it only for calls and messages, but i think this is what phones are made for.

I have had three of these phones and they all had the same problem. I had insurance on them so i kept getting replacements but these phones are defective. They always get a issue where they shut off and then cant read the sim card any longer.

A total piece of crap, I had that phone and nothing is good about it. Nokia is going down with the day to day phone. You need to buy the Nokia at more than $500 to have a OK quality. Since they have introduce folding phones nothing is going good. I rather pay more $ for a phone that works!

I have had the phone for about 3 months. During the first week it dropped from the height of my desk onto the floor while in belt case (body glove case). The outer LCD display failed. The phone worked OK, there was not case damage This week after charging all night the phone failed about 10 minutes into the call. Total shutdown no response even with a new battery and a rest attempt. T-Mobile says it will not honor the 12 M warrantee because the LCD was damage. I’m using my 3 year old Virgin Mobile Phone until issue is resolved.

I have the Nokia 6086 through Cincinnati Bell Wireless and am constantly having problems staying connected to the wifi network and being able to dial my home phone number. I've had to call their support line at least 6 times since I've had the wireless modem. It's ridiculous. I don't think it's the phone, I'm pretty sure it's their crappy network. Even when I'm not on the wifi network, I still have many problems with the phone such as bad voice quality, not receiving text messages, many dropped calls, busy network messages and poor reception. I've even had poor reception in parts of Downtown Cincinnati. There are many Cincinnati Bell dead zones throughout Hamilton County. I like not having a contract, but it's not worth it. I'm going back to Verizon. I never had these problems with them.

> In reply to Jim in Cincinnati @ 2008-06-14 06:42 from RYXeI totally agree with you guys. The Nokia 6086 wifi phone is very cheap, the sound quality is poor, and the wifi signal is very finnicky. Cincinnati Bell's GSM reception is really bad as well, even in the city. I am always getting dropped calls, having poor voice quality (cut-outs, and echoes), network busy messages, and not receiving voice mails. They desperately need to spend money to upgrade their aging network and to expand their local coverage. I never had problems like this with Verizon or Nextel. I was so upset with their service that I called their corporate headquarters downtown to complain. Calling 611 is useless. I encourage everyone else to do the same-if enough people complain, maybe something will be done about these problems.

i think this phone is average. especially, for this time and age it's time for an upgrade! if you dont give a crap, then here ya go. but you can get a much better phone for FREE in Japan.

this phone has that blue oldskool screen.
its just a little hard to use.
camera sucks.
the organization of folders also sucks.
i like the speaker phone.
blah.
