We have had the 6280, 6288, 7390, 6300...e.t.c, Nokia 7390 being the best of all.
However, Nokia have released an amazing handset jam-packed with multimedia features, plus a great camera with carl zeiss and VGA video recording.
The 6500 slide doesn't just perform great, it looks great. With it's brushed metal facade and robust, smooth sliding action. It even feels great in your hand.
This smartphone even though is a series 40 device matches abilities that of the high end nokia smartphones i reckon. A shame it hasn't got HSDPA though, but that tiny flaw shouldn't hold it back from being a great contender to high end devices right now.
