Earlier this month we saw an all black 6300 come out of Asia, Singapore we thing, and now an all black 6500 Slide comes out of the wood work. Could 2008 be the year Nokia pulls a Samsung and makes all their devices blacker than black? With a 3.2 megapixel camera, dual LED flash, S40 and a solid stainless steel body this is a model to watch as one of Nokia’s best sellers.
What peaks my interest is why the back plate of the black model doesn’t say Carl Zeiss anywhere while the silver (original) 6500 does. One would think that would be a blow to the marketing people or that this model might not be a final retail unit.
