Nokia haven't officially announced this phone yet, but already the N65 slider phone is turning up on ebay! No, this doesn't seem to be a scam, as the guy selling the phone admits it's a display model only. What's really, really interesting though, is that it looks like Nokia have finally learnt from Sendo and given the N65 a truely functional Active Standby screen... 

 

The phone's features are fairly standard S60 version 3, with UMTS, HSPDA, Wi-Fi, MicroSD, Bluetooth a 2MP camera and a slider design,  the really interesing thing is the "screenshot" of the dummy unit - have a look at that Active Standby screen - it looks very reminiscent of Sendo's excellent Now! screen.

 

There's also talk of this phone having a leather (or at least leatherette) back. There's more photos of the phone over at Engadget and at  Gizmondo.

 

Expect the N65 to get a 3GSM announcement in Barcelona next month!
