Very interesting so this looks like
an experimental niche product as
the recently announced fashion UMTS handset. We will see more
down to the earth phones coming.
Anyway the interesting part are the
new multimedia features that are
giving us an idea of what nokia is
going to deliver from vision to
market. The DVB and enhanced radio
features are very interesting and
they are based on specific
capabilities of Symbian Os 7. I expect
Nokia integrating those features in
future Series 60 rel 2 phones.
Still an handset without any numeric
and qwerty keyboard as far from
practical and this is a step back for
Nokia.
