The Nokia 6700 slide, along with other models like the Nokia 6600i slide and Nokia N86 8MP, has been discontinued, reflecting a broader trend away from slide and flip phone designs in favor of touchscreen smartphones. Users seeking features like a >5MP camera with autofocus and a non-touchscreen interface are finding limited options, as the market has shifted towards devices with touchscreens due to their versatility, reduced moving parts, and compact design. For those still interested in older models, platforms like eBay and Gumtree may offer opportunities to purchase discontinued phones.

I had always used very low cost phones with minimal features. Finally, I've set my eyes upon something expensive. Its Nokia 6700 slide. I WANT this phone. Sad thing is Nokia discontinued it alongside Nokia 6600i slide, Nokia n86 8mp etc.

When I wanted a multi-feature phone, I looked for >5MP camera with autofocus and NO touchscreen. I hate touchscreens and so called smartphones. I want my phone with metallic finish and slide keypad (No QWERTY). I'm not going to settle for anything less.

Why did Nokia discontinue slide phones? Why?

Have you tried eBay, gumtree etc to see if you can get one there?

AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI. I feel as if it’ll bleed into STEM which is kinda has already and, every idea or thought could become fully reliant on AI. Yeah AI makes life easier but at a...
