Gizmodo has a video of Nokia's prototype touchscreen-based Symbian S60 interface. The first devices might be ready as soon as end of 2008. In the meantime, Nokia announced their highest-end S60 smartphone, the N96. It's pretty similar to the N95 that we reviewed last year, but with the addition of a DVB-H receiver for digital TV signals in Europe and Asia, 16 GB of flash storage, and the N-Gage gaming platform built-in.

I understand it's been a year...wish himobile will send over a N95 8GB for your review. I found it is an amazing phone, especially for business users. MailForExchange (download free from Nokia) will make you forget blackberry style e-mail and it won't suck battery as much as DirectPush.
Google map and the built-in GPS receiver will allow users to view traffic in real-time, though i've found it not so real-time now and then (takes note G folks!). Just press 0 and it will locate your current position.
I was able to use WLAN+Gizmo to call Vietnam. The call quality was amazing. It was as clear as you would use the land line. WLAN never got dropped.
I'm glad I bought the Nokia N95 8GB and not the overhyped iPhone.
