NOKIA N86 8MP and HTC Touch Pro2
Two new phones were announced last February but it is not yet out on the market. I think Nokia N86 8MP and HTC Touch Pro2 will be the “must buy” gadgets. I have listed the specifications of the two cellphones so we can compare which will be more useful, more “astig” and more fascinating than the other. I compared these two phones, N86 is lighter than HTC, N86 has dual slide screen but HTC has a larger display and fully touch screen. Nokia N86 dominates the camera category having its 8 MP, 3264×2448 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, variable apperture, with dual LED flash. You should do the rest of the comparing haha!
