Abhi, 15 Feb 2011Hey guys, I want to buy this phone, as I've liked it very much. But I want to know that, is N8... moreAll proccessors have a basic 2d/3d gpu but its what they call integrated GPU.The type your on about is dedicated gpu or graphics chip which n86 does not have but i can tel you something.Nokias n82 had 2 proccessors with dedicated graphics chip as such.One proccessor did all the radio stuff ie bluetooth, 3g,gps.The second proccessor dealt with the o/s.The gpu or whatever you wish to call it did help with gaming if the programme called on the gpu to assisst ,,it also helped support th tv uot and helped keep the VGA 30 FPS OUTPUT.

Hey guys, I want to buy this phone, as I've liked it very much. But I want to know that, is N86 still available in Maharashtra in India. Also, I've one another question. This phone doesn't have any GPU or 3D HW Accelerator, does this have much more effect on gaming? Or there's not a lot difference?

With any of the above procedures u should have a working FM TRANSMITTER

In regards to today's announcement that WP7 will now be Nokia's primary smartphone OS, ad jus like to say that the N86 will probably be the last Nokia device i will own considering from the gist of things Meego looks to become another long-term backburner like its predecessor Maemo. IMHO, Nokia develops some the most capable and best-built hardware available in the market, but with WP7 on board as the OS, sorry, i can't bring myself to buy into the whole "Let's buy into android and WP7, we really need to become a pawn of their parent company's large and burgeoning OS so they can sell and advertise and get bigger and bigger and invade every chasm of our lives" My firefox already has enough add-ons running to keep Google and the likes away...paranoid..may be, logical..more so. The whole point of different OSes is to account for varying consumer interest and whereas WP7 could assist in terms of general UI advancement (lets face it, Symbian (S^3) is two-folds more functional than WP7), the fact that all it does is cater to the US market, etching out the rest of the world means one thing....Elop was Nokia's harbinger of death...We want capable phones, with the hardware that Nokia so proclaimed to be the best without wondering where all our data is being sent off to..and sure, who's to say Nokia doesn't already route some of our info down yonder...but atleast then it's only some.
