I've had an n86 since November, and it's the best mobile I've ever had.

Yvonne, the three drives are: the phone memory, the 8gb mass memory, and the

hello Barry
as far as i am aware there is only 1 version of the n86
this has 8 gig internal and the available option of micro sd cards of which
i have a 16 gig installed
but for some reason it announces that there are 3 drives
perhaps the sd card has been partitioned i am not sure
perhaps Steve or Neil can clarify mor on this or perhaps this would be one
for carol
