Attention QWERTY fans! Nokia’s got an all-new keyboard-wielding superphone, the Nokia 6760. It’s similar to the Nokia Surge, announced in the US last week, but not quite the same. Read on for all the info.
The Nokia 6760 Slide packs a full QWERTY keyboard, ready to bash out e-mails, instant messages and texts on the move. Up front the Nokia 6760 slide also has a 2.4 inch screen, while its rear sports a decent 3.2 megapixel camera.
In the box, you’ll find the Nokia 6760 slide has a 2GB microSD card, but supports storage up to 8GB, but that’s not the big story. A whopping great battery means the Nokia 6760 Slide will last for 500 hours on standby. That’s over 20 days!
Inside there’s also A-GPS, and of course the Nokia 6760 Slide comes with Nokia maps pre-installed, serving up 3D landmarks and proper terrain mapping.
As you’d expect, that QWERTY keyboard is there for heavy-duty typing. Lucky then that the Nokia 6760 Slide supports Mail for Exchange, Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger.
Apps inside also give easy access to Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. The Nokia 6760 Slide is a proper gossipmonger, and no mistake.
Nokia says the 6760 Slide will go on sale in the third quarter of 2009. That means we’ll be tapping on it before September. It’ll arrive in black, red and white, and sell for €199 before subsidies and taxes. That’s around £170.
