It’s a blatant rip off of the Nokia 6233 design but they were nice enough to include a touch screen! Why doesn’t  Nokia include touch screens in high end models is beyond me, then again does it really surprise you when at the end of 2006 they’ve yet to throw a VGA resolution device out onto the market?

    6233 is a 40-series phone with a smallish screen..why anyone would want to have an UI with touch screen input in that device is beyound me.

    I have an N73..I don’t want to use even that phone with a touch screen input! I’m so happy that everything can be done with one hand. I have experience of touchscreen with SonyEricsson P800 and Nokia 770 Internet Tablet…They are nice devices, but about the touch screen..I tried to use them without the stulys as much as possible..

    Sadly Nokia doesn’t do jog dials. I’d KILL for one on my E61
