the 6500 slide... i've been eyeing this phone ever since the review for it appeared on gsmarena and under the coming soon section on the nokia website.

so i checked the nokia website frequently and popped into singtel every now and then. was at sim lim on 28sep buying some last minute stuff, and imagine my excitement when i walked past a shop and saw the salesman holding a phone that looked so damn familiar. :) apparently he said he had just received the stock a few minutes ago, but i was pretty cautious because i had just checked the nokia website the day before and it was still under coming soon. i was pretty tempted to buy it, because i was dying to get a new phone, though my samsung z720 was only 6 months old and i wanted to bring a new phone with me to japan. :) but in the end i decided to control myself, also cause i wasn't sure if it was "safe" to buy a phone from there and cos it didn't seem to be "officially" released. i shall buy it when im back! something to look forward to haha.

anddd i just saw this review on n81... just announced in august... i wonder when will it be out. :) http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n81-2084.php
