N86 is Nokia’s first 8 Mega Pixel camera phone which made a leap not only in the mega pixel count, but also the camera optics & sensor as explained by Steve from AllAboutSymbian here – Quantifying the improvements in the Nokia N86’s camera.

Review : Nimbuzz – The one app to IM them all!

I have been using Nimbuzz for the past few weeks, even before it was released on Ovi Store. I could very well finish the review in just one line, and still do justice to this excellent application. This is the “One app to IM them all”.

Services :

The first feature that strikes you is the number of services supported by Nimbuzz. It supports an impressive number of 15 communities for IM including the major ones like Windows Live, Yahoo, Facebook, Google Talk, AIM, MySpace, ICQ. Along with the communities, It also supports VoIP with over 14 SIP accounts, as well as an option to configure a custom SIP account.

Chat :

Once your accounts are configured, you reach the contact list. The contact list in Nimbuzz is a single list showing your contacts from all the configured services alphabetically. Which means you no longer have you switch between services / apps to check on which service a friend of yours has come online. All your contacts, irrespective of the service, show up in a single list. Perfect.
