New Nokia 6500 Candybar & Slider

Nokia announced a couple new 6500's today. They are in the midrange category, but cary some very nice features:

The candybar: 9.5mm thick, 2mp camera, 1GB INTERNAL storage, bluetooth, QVGA display, microUSB port (charging), quadband GSM.

The slider: 16.4mm thick, 3.2mp camera, microSD, integrated FM radio, TV out.

Both should be available int he 3rd quarter for around $430 for the candybar and $500 for the slider.

these phones have a nice look but i think the n95 would be a better buy hopefully nokia will stat making 4-5mp camera's and built in gb memory a standard on their phones.

Also its nice how their venders sell/give away these high end phones for low price/free with contracts in europe. I wonder if US venders are going to catch up with technology and make these phones part of their line up anytime soon.
