Nokia Introducing Touch UI to Open Source S60 OS

Today Nokia, the largest player in the mobile handset game, announced the addition of a touchscreen interface to their S60 OS. Comparisons to Apple's multi-touch input system are inevitable, but Nokia is holding its own with a few promised extras. These include silencing the phone by flipping it on its face when an incoming call is received, support for stylus-based input and a tactile feedback response.

For good measure, Nokia is also throwing in a Flash-capable browser, which we doubt will be relying on a shitty EDGE network. If Nokia pulls this off, the development may propel the company even further up the tables, and we'll be in for a handset at a reasonable price point, with open source potential (proper 3rd party apps) and usability surpassing even that of the iPhone. Who knows? We may even see a user-replaceable battery in the mix! We might be fanboys, but hell, if Nokia makes those promises come true, they can have our iPhones. Hit the video to check out a prototype in action.

Lol? iPhone is garbage. Don't even joke.  Poor ass kids... having an iPhone means nothing. It's like owning a Razer when it first came out. The smart/rich people went for the Nokia 8801, the true baller phone at the time. While people like you who just wanted to be like everyone else was left with the garbage.
