The other slider phone is called the L870. Based on the Symbian OS, the handset carries dimensions of just 13.5mm. It sports a 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, a 2.4-inch TFT display with QVGA resolution and 16 million colors, compatible with tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and HSDPA 3.6Mbps for fast wireless data transfers.
In addition, the L870 phone is packed with FM radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, along with 100MB onboard storage space with support for memory card slot (up to 4 GB microSD card).
