Nokia's iPhone rival shows in press shot |
Nokia's first true touchscreen phone has been spotted today in a leak of an official press image for the device. The image matches earlier but much less distinct images and shows a significantly different interface for the Symbian operating system's music player with onscreen music controls and larger album art. Other interface changes are known to be coming and include an iPhone-like photo browser with swipe and rotate features as well as as a new control panel.The phone has repeatedly had its specifications leak to the public and is positioned more as a high-end media phone than smartphone but with feature advantages over the iPhone and RIM's upcoming BlackBerry Storm, including a 640x360 3.2-inch screen, a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash and video capture, and removable microSDHC storage. GPS and Wi-Fi are also known to be present along with support for US calling, though the initial phone version follows Nokia's typical practice of supporting only European and some Asian 3G data with an initial phone model. |
