New Nokia phone to be launched on 26 January

Comments

• I think they need a decent consumer-focused touchscreen phone that can compete against the likes to the HTC Hero, iPhone, etc. It needs to do everything, have easy access to the Ovi infrastructure in an intuitive and integrated way and offer a decent capacitive screen and so on. The N97 was ill received and the N900 isn't really consumer ready. Perhaps a step away from the reliance on keyboards and skinny touch hybrids is due? Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
• My sensible money would be on some kind of GPS edition model following the free Ovi Maps news - Nokia has launched a Navigation Edition 5800 in the States.

• Nokia really needs to revamp Symbian properly to suit touchscreens before it'll have any success in that market. Until then, it should make the most of its reputation for reliability and launch a rugged, GPS-equipped, "explorer" phone with a host of apps for climbing, canoeing, hiking, etc.
  
  But I reckon it'll be another godawful, slow, "Comes With Music", touchscreen handset instead. Posted by radioedit, United Kingdom
• I agree with radioedit's comment. There is a market for a rugged, GPS-equipped, "explorer" phone with a host of apps for climbing, canoeing, hiking, etc that the iPhone, HTC, Nexus haven't been able to fill yet. I've gone off Nokia in recent years as they are far behind in the touchscreen market but might be swayed back if they can produce something that will differentiate themselves from the competition.

• Sorry to be a bit damp squibby about this but if it was something good, wouldn't we have been hearing about it since November via the medium of decreasingly out of focus photos?
  
  The rugged device would make sense as I suppose it's niche enough not to have attracted so much attention. It could be something painfully green. How about something aimed at cyclists?. They done cars after all. It's that or pogo sticks. Come to think of it, it could be a GPS-centric device just plain aimed at pedestrians. Posted by Dan Sung, United Kingdom
• Yeh, rugged phone would be just the ticket as Nokia don't appear to be in a position to compete directly with the top-end smartphones. Posted by art, uk
• What I want from Nokia is
  
  Flick/kinetic scrolling on all menus/contacts

• I think it will be the rumored N87! 12.1 MP camera, 2 MP camera in front, 3.9 capacitive toucscree, xenon flash.... The N87 been on the news for quit sometime now! Posted by wally, USA
• Tell me you all know the N87 was fake right? There was a huge amount of spelling mistakes in the document, and bad grammar to boot. Not to mention it contained some odd language for a technical document. Posted by Bart, UK
