The new clamshells are nowhere near as nice looking as the LG, Motorola and sharp clamshells. Me thinks Nokia are going to keep loosing market share.

yes the 6260 looks to be a very capable handset, the Motorola MPx 220 (Microsoft Smartphone) could look less unique now (if Nokia get this Series 60 model shipping by Q4)

the Nokia Bluetooth keyboard and the 6260 design works very well also, with the 6260 acting as it's own stand with a twist/flip of the screen...

Did you see where the camera is? on the edge! Guess you would hold it like a digicam with the screen out to the side.

Looks well good in black - especially the speaker grille/carbon effect insert in the front.

Now there a dilemma for me was gonna jump ship to a gx30, but I might hang on...

although releastically Q4 will meant next year here wont it?

btw are their any good mp3 player apps for series 60? Preferably not mono.

One of the benefits of this type of design is that it allows the camera lens to take up more room. This could possibly allow for optical zoom features in the future. Was reading that somewhere recently.



Otherwise, some very interesting designs from Nokia. Its about time really!

If you look at the feature list for someone the new handsets I am nearly sure they say they have MP3 players.
