The revelations were made by Nokia's chief designer, Alastair Curtis, whilst talking to PopSci.com journalists in the States.
Similar to a Nokia patent filed in June 2007 that describes a system that uses ultrasound sensors to detect hand movements - not on the screen, but in the air in front of it - Curtis is reported to state that this technology is incoming, and is highly likely for the Nseries:
Curtis said: "We've not launched what we think is right for N-series in a touch product. You'll see in the coming months, years ... what we feel is right."
When Curtis was asked how the gestures would work to control the phone he said: "I'm skirting the question, because products are coming".
