Nokia 6500 Slide and Classic to be the first S40 5th Edition devices
Forum Nokia and Nokia Public Relations are rarely in sync. The 6500 Slide and Classic were announced on the last day of May, but they’ve only been recently added to Nokia’s Technical Forum. Series 40 5th Edition promises to support JSR 248 and for the end user that entails improving compatibility with Java applications. Shame…
