Nokia Touch-Screen On The Way

By techconsumer On September 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

In a market where iPhones and Gphones are getting all the hype, Nokia holds a special place in my tech loving heart, as the company that has produced most of the reliable cell phones I’ve chosen to use over the years. I’ve yet to have an issue with them, either. Knock on wood, just in case, though.

A flashy appearance and abundance of features, including the latest technology of the day is no doubt what moves merchandise off of wireless retailer’s shelves (this cell phone even sold for 1.3 million.) So, it’s good to see Nokia coming out with a touch-screen phone, in order keep pace with Apple and the new Google G1.

Nokia’s first touch screen, which has become known as “The Tube”, is to be unveiled at an October second event. The device, which in actuality is called the Nokia 5800, (although right now many are simply calling it the Nokia Touch screen phone), has a focus on music and strong multimedia capacity, includes the companies “Comes With” music software, which is intended to compete with Apple. It will be interesting to see how well the Nokia 5800 fares in the US, amid heavy competition.
