                  320 x 480 16M screen?
                  i wonder if this is the beginning of the 320 x 480 era for all Nokia phones?

                  i remember the first time Nokia implemented their 240 x 320 16M screen in their S40 phone (Nokia 6131), and the next thing we know, all mid to high Nokia phone have 240 x 320 16M lcd display up until now.

                    since it isnt a symbian nor i see any symbian button, i assume there isn't any multitasking, right??? coz spec sheet looks atractive, but no multitasking in s40 sucks....

                          and this isnt the ryt time to release such fones.
                          I think nokia is going far behind, unless they lounch somthing better than the inov8 or renoir.

                                      Nokia is thinking about the younger generation not able to afford it "N" series mobile,an it looks a good a phone indeed but there still no sign of Nokia releasing a 8 mega-pixel camera mobile to challenge the other three LG,Samsung an Sony Ericsson,are they really going to release a mobile with a 8 mega-pixel camera on it at all,as the N96 an N85 are not good phones to me

                                        6260 ? Did they run out of names or numbers? Why do they keep re-using old names [ like 6600 classic vs slide and such].
