Hi Tery, It is a slide phone. Bigger and heavier than the N82, but the buttons are just as good on it. All the best Steve _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of terry cooper Sent: Tuesday 25 August 2009 21:23 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] nokia n86 Hi all For anyone using the N86, I was hoping you could enlighten me with the layout of the phone. e.g. what are the buttons like? I'm currently using the n82, and love the buttons on it. How does the n86 compare with the buttons? Is it a candy bar style, or a slide phone. Thanks for any help. Terry
