this phone's great......had problems on the previous firmware but just go to innov8 forum and upgrade to the XXBI2 firmware.....now, the phone is speeedy(and the battery life is extended) + i managed to get n-gage working......loudspeaker's the best and the camera is an over-all performer.....just need to find the rights settings in low-light with flash....in daytime, its like a point-and-shoot digicam in quality

Best phone I ever had!. I've bought three other phones (omnia, gw620, etc)over the past year to "better" it but ended up going back to it. All it needs to be perfect is a touch screen - it's the ONLY thing missing.

I have had this phone for around 7 months now.. After a while of having the phone, you start to realise that the phone isn't as brilliant as it looks or what people may make it out to be. Some of the main problems about this phone are:
- Dust collects under the screen, and there is no way of solving this problem unless you send it back to Samsung; if its not under gurantee you will be charged.
- Hardly any updates! Samsung never release updates for this phone, so bug fixes etc will not be fixed!
- Its a little slow.. Photos and videos take a while to load which can be annoying and the menu sometimes lags.
- Battery life is awfull, it needs charging every day, even if you don't use it a lot.
I reccomend that you don't purchase this phone, it's a tad out dated now and it has to many issues that samsung cant be bothered to address.

I have both i8510 and N86, and use them both everyday. I don't know why you say i8510 is "way better" than the N86. i8510 does have a 0.2-inch screen advantage and a trackpad. But N86 has much better camera quality and stronger flash, better build quality, and has AMOLED display. N86 also has OVI apps and free Ovi Maps for life.
I agree with the reliability and screen issue of the i8510 and Samsung doesn't update their software as much as Nokia does. Last update for i8510 was I think last year, N86 was just this past one or two months.

INNOV8 user., 16 Jul 2010Guys, I have this phone. But please, I don't recommend you to purchase it...
It has good po... moreWell I have this phone too and I can tell that only a few of your points are true.
So I will agree on you only on these points: 3, 7 and 8. Other than that, completely disagree about the camera, it's perfect I'd say and you can also tweak the settings if you don't like something about it's photographing, and yeah, when you make digital zoom when making a video it's completely normal that the quality gets worse a lot because it's a DIGITAL zoom, it's not optical if you understand that... It might be slightly slower in menus, but other than that this device is raw power! Really recommend this to anyone who's not looking for the newest and most expensive touchscreen. Besides it's photos are waaaaaay better than most of the newest phones in the market.

Guys, I have this phone. But please, I don't recommend you to purchase it...
It has good points too, but the bad points are:->
1. Photos in slight dark, are blurry, and anti shake turns itself off many times,
Moreover, anti shake and flash can't be used at same time,
2. Videos have horrible audio quality, and lots of missed frames, and even 2x zoom makes its quality bad,
3. The paintjob wears out fast, mine is reflective metal now, instead of black,
4. There's current flowing through its body, which you can get shocked by, if its connected to TV/ Laptop, etc. and if you are barefoot,
5. its screen updates 1 second later after you press a button while its on standby. Until then, it shows the last screen position which maybe an older time...
6. Radio is buggy. It won't respond until you press a key ten times.
If you chose directional key for usage instead, it changes channels damn slowly.
7. The USB wire got defective within 9 months of normal usage. I had to purchase a new one which was of Nokia 5130 Xpressmusic.
The charger got defective within 4 months and a warranty replacement was provided.
Then again, it went kaput at 10 months, then I had to purchase it from market.
8. Battery life is not even useable for 1 day full of usage.
I updated the firmware from to XXHJ3 through Samsung Centre, but NO PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.
In fact, one of the 3D games disappeared and the other doesn't work anymore, after the update.
And GSMArena, why didn't you disclose these points in your review? Very bad journalism on your part.

I have myself seen maximum digital zoom samples of 3 sets, one innov8, and one omnia and a Apple iPhone 3G.
