It seems that every time a manufacturer issues a new touch-only device, it’s dubbed "the next iPhone killer". Maybe bloggers actually believe in each device’s potential, or perhaps it’s just an SEO ploy. Whatever the case may be, live pics of Nokia’s upcoming touch-only device have finally been leaked and while we’re not going to call it an "iPhone killer" it will likely end up being the most successful device to have been given the title. Codenamed ‘Tube’ (perhaps thanks to enhanced streaming video capabilities), Nokia’s first S60 Touch device is due to start hitting shelves this year. Specs are not plentiful for the time being, but here’s what we know:
- S60 Touch OS
- 3″ - 3.5″ (16:9) touchscreen (No multi-touch, but has tactile feedback)
- Finger or stylus operation
- Camera (presumably 5 megapixel) with autofocus
- Quad Band GSM
- Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, WLAN
- Integrated GPS with geotagging support
We got a nice clarification with regards to the tactile feedback mentioned above when speaking to the product manager in London last September. Apparently the Tube will provide haptic feedback, but a revolutionary variety of it. About 1mm - of play is worked into the glass display cover and is held taught by a spring-like system. When the user presses a virtual button on the screen, the display cover actually has some give as the haptic response is issued simultaneously. The result is said to be the closest thing to a true button press that has been achieved on a touchscreen device. While we can’t guarantee that this very cool design aspect will make it to the production model, our fingers are crossed because it sounds fantastic. With Nokia’s Tube looking better and better with each detail we get, the second half of 2008 (Q4 we imagine) can’t come soon enough.

| Nokia Tube press photo leaked |  Earlier today we reported that Nokia may be set to release the Tube to the world on October 2nd in London. While announcing and releasing a handset in the same breath is hardly Nokia’s style, its first S60 Touch offering has been delayed enough that our Finnish friends may have gotten fed up.

| Live Pics Galore of the Upcoming Nokia N79 |  We’re not sure exactly what we should be focusing on in this most recent round of live Nokia N79 pics; the handset or the wonderfully artistic backdrop of foliage.

| Nokia to Release 5800 Tube on October 8? |  Nokia fans, don’t start doing your victory dances just yet. Would an October 8th release of Nokia’s highly anticipated 5800 XpressMusic “Tube” make sense? Hardly. The Finnish Internet Company hasn’t yet officially announced the handset and the rumored date is only one month away. Does that mean it definitely won’t happen? No. JAMP cites a [...] [..] Read complete article | | Published 08-Sep-2008 by Zach Epstein in HandsetsNokiaRumors58005th EditionS60Symbiantouchscreentubexpressmusic
