New Nokia slider in the works?

A Nokia patent application has surfaced, and this time we’re treated to a brand new slider that will be from the Nokia N Series line of imaging handsets. Not only does this upcoming model feature a rotating camera, it also boasts a retractable flash assembly that enables the user to expose or hide the phone flash within the handset’s body. Somehow I find that candybar form factors are still the best – they feel more than solid to the touch, and with less rotating parts within, the chances of it spoiling is lowered as well. Having said that, I find this patent application pretty interesting since the design ain’t half bad, and there might even be a 6 or 8 megapixel camera thrown into the mix as well.
