Looks good:

maemo.nokia.com

engadget.com

looks good but the build quality will be shit like the n97

Looks like a brick. And besides, a keypad is so 1999..(Prepares for a flaming) :-)

Could be. I have the N810 that is succeeded by this and have no issues with the build quality.


*Sends flames* ;)

I think it's a nice looking device. How are going to use IM reasonably without a keyboard?!

See they've already ditched the tilted screen and cursor key that come on the N97...

Is it gonna have a static touch screen or is it one of those horrible screens with the membrane? They really take the fun out of it.

I've got AIM on the iPhone, works like a gem.

It's a resistive touch screen, apparently.

How useful is this, really? I mean, if you can't run it in the background on a standard phone, then surely it's difficult (impossible) to maintain a continuous online presence with it?

For anyone that might be interested, there's a long and detailed preview article here: my-symbian.com

The article is based on a prototype, but it looks pretty nice to me.
