What it is Filled
The Nokia 6260 slide is a Nokia slider-format mobile-phone model running the Series 40 platform, with cellular voice and data, Wi-Fi, GPS navigation and a 5-megapixel camera.
In scope
- Product identification and distinction from similarly named Nokia phones
- Slider mechanism, keypad, navigation controls and display operation
- Cellular, WLAN and local connection compatibility
- Camera, media, storage and positioning capabilities
- Battery, charging, condition assessment and serviceability
Out of scope
- The original Nokia 6260 and other Nokia handset models
- Individual handset ownership and transaction histories
- Mobile network infrastructure and subscription contracts

- Battery chemistry and memory-card technology beyond handset compatibility
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise the Nokia 6260 slide product model, assess evidence about a handset's condition and compatibility, and choose appropriate operating, preservation or repair actions.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Require the full designation 'Nokia 6260 slide' and corroborating device-label evidence; the number 6260 alone is insufficient identification.
- Check for a sliding body exposing a numeric keypad, rather than accepting a similarly named phone with a different opening mechanism.
- Check the combination of S40 software, a 360-degree Navi key and a 2.4-inch 320 × 480 display. [Nokia product datasheet](https://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/10/107224/data_sheets/nokia6260.pdf)
- Corroborate identification with the 5-megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, WLAN and GPS; none is sufficient alone. [Nokia product datasheet](https://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/10/107224/data_sheets/nokia6260.pdf)
