So far the only thing that i can see is something that my phone does do is the webbrowser that displays the pages as normal and then you can zoom in. Im sure that idea will be pinched. ;)

I think you being a little short sighted;) - that phone is years ahead of any other. And imagine.. a bug free smartphone - at last! :cool:

It's not so much about what it does, more HOW it does it :) Usability is what Apple does best :)
 
It wont sell to the generally public in my opinion, they don't by large like touch screens (fear of turning the handset on / off by accident during a call etc) and they certainly don't like large PDAs.

I've been in the industry long enough to know this will almost certainly be a flop to the masses, and will probably go en-route to the same slow death as the N91.. It does look rather neat though from a geeks perspective :) - I bet its rather expensive (£100 on new tariffs £30+?)
 
Can't see it being a big seller in europe. I think they're banking on the fact that very few phones run on the symbian os to make it popular over there.

Screen has a proximity sensor which turns off the screen when held against your ear :)

Also, it is the same size as an Imate Jam, and weighs 15g less.

In fact, it is only 5mm taller, 12mm wider, and 8mm thinner than the N73 :D

I'm soooo getting one. I think this is the best looking phone out, it looks so simplistic. Only worry I have is grubby fingers messing up the screen.
 
I think it looks very interesting - have to compare it to the competition at launch time not the handsets that are around now though. It's still a long way off.

Anyone know who makes it?
