Rumor: Nokia N60 = 6290 in candy bar form factor

Here is what I know (more like what I’ve been told): Nokia N60 will have the same specs as the 6290 but will be a candy bar.

What do you guys think about that? SLVR competitor? Foolish not to include a 3.5 mm jack like the N76?

Wait and see is the best we can all hope for.

Epilogue: In America we call phones that look like a solid block: candy bar. Explains the obesity epidemic? I can’t say for sure.

What does your Nokia taste like?

    I’d really hate that… It seems like the N76 and 6290 has become the standard spec for all S60 phones that Nokia will simply make new phones with the same spec, but different designs…

    I’ve been wishing Nokia releases a 3250 form factor N-Series phone called the N60… -_-” A lot better, IMO.

    I’ve said this in many fora and will say it again: what I hate is when people say e.g. “N60 is just 6290 in candy bar form”. There is no such thing. Let’s review: completely different form factor, different circuit board, different antennas, most likely different configuratio/locations of buttons and ports, different keyboard, different design – what makes it “just a”??? Cell phones are not lego blogs that you can just put together and voi la, have a new phone. Sure, there is an element of that, but its more complicated than that, and especially saying a phone is just the same but in a different form factor is over-simplistic to me. :)
