The release date for the Nokia 6260 slide will be on January 2009 with beige and black color options so far, and its price is expected to be 299 euro before taxes and subsidies, so it will be a nice competition between expected E series smartphones. However it is especially a nice phone for younger people who cannot afford N series phones especially with newly introduced features for S40 line.
