Peeped in spy pics on these Interwebs since June, Nokia just went official with the 6260 slide. Unfortunately, "slide" in this case reveals a numeric keypad not a QWERTY. Otherwise, it's pretty much an iterative step beyond the
6220 classic. As such, we're looking at a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, WiFi, and HSDPA/HSUPA data to quickly share photos and video on Nokia's Ovi service with the promise of support for other photo and video sharing sites you might actually use. The 6260 slide also features Nokia Maps riding AGPS -- a first for a mass market, Series 40 device. Ships in early 2009 for about €299 before taxes and carrier subsidies, naturally.
Update: Detailed specs just released show a 2.4-inch, 320 x 480 pixel display on this 15.4-mm thick slider with quad-band GSM/EDGE and tri-band UMTS radios and microSD expansion. [Thanks, L]

Nokia obviously has been sleeping on its laurels for far too long.
Someone should wake it up to tell that in the age of the Omnia, Storm, Nuviphone, G1, touch HD, Xperia, etc, etc, it's gonna have problems giving away these things for free (well at least to me )

This is a mass-market S40 device, it's not aimed at the same segment -_-

I love how some people can completely ignore the concept that not every phone is supposed to be high end.
