Nokia 6260 Slide


It is common these days to find Nokia re-using old model numbers. If you’ve been a follower of the industry for a while, you will surely have picked up on these. The 6210, 6220, or 6600, just for starters. To distinguish from previous handsets, Nokia have added descriptive names to the model number, so you find handsets with the descriptive Classic, or Fold, Navigator or Slide. Straight away you know what the handset design is going to be, or what the main feature of the handset is. This time up we have for review the Nokia 6260 Slide which is set to be a big handset for Nokia in the up coming months.

The Nokia 6260 Slide is not part of the Nseries, or Eseries, yet it is packed with the latest features commonly found on such phones. So we have a 5.0 megapixel camera, with dual LED, Autofocus, and Carl Zeiss lens. It seems the 5.0 megapixel camera is fast becoming the norm on mid-range Nokia mobile phones. For a while Nokia cameras were far ahead of the competition in terms of quality, thanks to their inclusion of a quality lens, along with a good processor. It is not just megapixels that make good pictures. However it seems as if the camera functionality on Nokia phones has become a bit stale, with Carl Zeiss lens, flash and auto focus now commonplace, whilst there is no option for face detection, anti-shake, smile detection, smart contrast, video stabiliser, etc, etc. However, despite the lack of some advanced features, the 6260 Slide will still produce some rather good snaps, that can easily be loaded up to your favourite picture sharing site, or straight onto your blog, if you prefer.
