if you had done your research you would have known that Series 90 was being added to S60 before the interview you mentioned. Nokia is a company with many employees, just because one senior person says something about touch screens it does not mean that is the view of all decision makers and that views do not change. The UI of the 7710 is superb and used as the basis of the Nokia N800 etc. Also ask yourself how come in October Nokia were showing a working touch screen S60 devices at the London Smartphone show if Nokia had no real development for touch screens in June 2007!]]>Nov 23rd 2007 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/23/nokias-patent-application-looks-at-things-from-a-different-angl/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/23/nokias-patent-application-looks-at-things-from-a-different-angl/
Why all the anger? Fact of the matter is, the *bulk* of Nokia's efforts have not been behind touchscreen devices or a UI based on finger navigation. LG, Samsung, HTC, and Apple recognized the mass-market appeal of this combination and are now capitalizing on it. Where's Nokia? Still showing off its future platform at events, not the phone shops.

actually Ericsson and SE had the first touch screen devices in the R380 and the P800, many many years ago. Real Smartphones not just PDAs. And most touch screen device users have used their fingers for many years or the back of a finger nail - not real innovation here.]]>Nov 23rd 2007 5:53PM
