Small slide button on the left-hand side will lock/unlock the phone if you wish.

Just got an N86 today from Freecycle, and I'm pretty
impressed.  It's a very similar layout to my N95, so not
much to learn there.  One thing that has me a bit stumped
is the small slide button on the side.  What's that for,
guys?

Cheers

Barry

Nokia N86 fans, help me?You've summed it up pretty well
and I too wish the Help worked.

It's worth noting that I was a bit disappointed at first,
before I found a few little tweeking settings which made
all the difference to its performance with Talks.  I
think the slide part of the phone is much better than my
old N95, but the N95 keys are much more easily pressed.
Perhaps this is wear and tear, I'm not sure, otherwise I
love my N86.

They're still available if you hunt ... and S&S may still
have some, if you want to try that route.

Damon,

Web and Email work now with Talks.

As far as I know only the Internet Radio and Help doesnt'
work.  I say only, those folks need to pull their finger
out.  The phones bene out since last July/August.

I've got one and do like it.  I use mudio which as online
station selector/app for the phone.  Not a great
selection but OK.

My one complaint is lack of Flash, and your trusty BBC
Iplayer app doesnt' work with Talks.

Other than that it's a lovely little phone.  I use mine
for Podcasts, bit of gmail email, FM Radio, Twitter,
Skype, a step counter for when out walking, light sabor,
calls, lol, texts, audible, just wish it had flash as
could use it on sites like tvcatchup.com then it would be
a portable telly.

Battery life is decent, USB charging as well as AC all be
it witha USB chipped interface on one end and an AC Plug
ont he other.

Keys are nice and tactile in my opinion, slider is very
smooth , unlike the n91.

Decent audio for books or Podcasts via it's stereo
speakers.  Bit annoying that you hav eto take the back
off to put the micro SD card in but at least you dont'
need to power it off.

Off to watch Eastenders!

Hi there.
Continuing my research into phones. Am beginning to
conclude I should be getting hold of a Nokia N86 for my
needs.
I seem to remember some discussion here a while ago about
how Talks couldn't give access to web browsing or perhaps
email. Was this resolved in a later version of Talks? Is
it a perfectly accessible phone now?
And how does it compare to the C5? Is that fully
functioning with Talks now?
Thanks
