Nokia to Introduce Touch Screen UI for S60 Phones

[seedat77]

Exciting news for me! Nokia plans to make S60 smartphones with a touch screen interface. Some might not like the idea, but I think it will improve the usability of an already user-friendly interface. Article from Gsmarena:

I saw this on Engadget/Gizmodo, looks pretty awesome.

From the Gizmodo article:

For good measure, Nokia is also throwing in a Flash-capable browser, which we doubt will be relying on a sh!tty EDGE network. If Nokia pulls this off, the development may propel the company even further up the tables, and we'll be in for a handset at a reasonable price point, with open source potential (proper 3rd party apps) and usability surpassing even that of the iPhone. Who knows? We may even see a user-replaceable battery in the mix! We might be fanboys, but hell, if Nokia makes those promises come true, they can have our iPhones.

...if they do pull this off properly, they can have my Touch too

I just hope that the interface won't rely too much on a stylus (like the crap SE UIQ UI). It's really a pain to have to pull out a stylus when it shouldn't really be necessary.
