Nokia unveils the 6760 slide

Earlier today, Nokia announced the new Nokia 6760 slide. If you’ve been reading ZCJ in the last couple of weeks, you might notice that the 6760 slide looks a lot like the Nokia Surge (video here), which is being released exclusively in the USA under AT&T.

The 6760 slide shares a lot (but not all) the traits of the Nokia Surge. For one thing, this Symbian S60 V3 powered device, will not have any Operator Branded apps installed on it (Thank God). With Nokia Messaging onboard, a 2.4-inch QVGA display along with a 3.2Megapixel Camera, GPS and a 2GB microSD card included (with support for upto 8GB), the 6760 slide sure looks like a nice cheap and useful Messaging Device.

It is estimated that the 6760 Slide will be available third quarter of 2009 for €199 before subsidies and taxes, initially available in black. Red and white variants have been said to be coming too, but later.

Straight from the Press Release :

Nokia today announced the Nokia 6760 slide, a messaging optimized device with a sliding QWERTY keypad. Ideal for individuals who want to stay connected when they are out and about, the Nokia 6760 slide offers fast and easy access to favourite social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace or Twitter as well as email accounts from Ovi Mail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Windows Live Hotmail and thousands of other email providers.

Setting up an existing email on the Nokia 6760 slide is simple. Only the email address and password are required. Push email is available through Nokia Messaging. Instant Messaging no longer needs to be confined to a computer as the Nokia 6760 slide also offers access to instant messaging solutions from Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger.

In addition to great messaging options, features like the inbuilt A-GPS module together with the 3D landmarks and the terrain maps give a greater dimension to the Nokia 6760 slide.

At the end of the day, the Nokia 6760 slide is a great multi-tasker – you can tweet, email, IM, share online, browse the web, listen to music, all at the same time. And it makes phone calls too!

The Nokia 6760 slide will be available during the third quarter of 2009 for EUR 199 before subsidies and taxes.
