Thing is Neil, I did like the build quality of the N86, but as I doubt I'll
ever be able to afford the KNFB Reader software, the 8 MP camera is
pointless. I'm more likely to appreciate a huge memory because of all the
audio files I'm always carrying around with me. If the N86 had the N97's
memory I'd jump at it! But as far as I know it only supports a 16 GB memory
card, so I wouldn't even be able to expand the memory with the new 32 GB
cards coming out now!
Very disappointed with the 8 GB internal memory considering the huge 8 MP
camera they've put on it. I'd have expected a decent size memory because
pics and vids take up much more room than audio.
Matt
