DigiTimes has a couple of back-to-back rumors from its industry sources that could be of interest to Nokia fans. Yesterday, the Taiwanese rumor rag said that Nokia will adopt a Synaptics touchscreen integrated circuit (which may or may not support multi-touch) solution for an upcoming "high-end handset" due for launch in the 3rd quarter of 2009. To be clear, this is not the
N97 which is expected to go on sale in June. Now
DigiTimes adds that capacitive touch panel orders from Nokia have been received from Wintek, the same supplier fitting Nokia's
5800 with resistive touchscreens. We're big fans of silky smooth, capacitive glass panels on finger-friendly touchscreen phones so we'll be stoked if these rumors prove true.

ok, TOTALLY Hilarious graphic you guys used. The little hand saying 'NO' to the stylus had me in fits in my chair. Keep up the good work, Engadget.
btw, never used the stylus on my 5800, nearly forgot it had one... works very well with fingers (not nails, fingers) especially since the last updates...
