  Great! Damn you are fas Stef
  Couple of important notes
  -haptic feedback support
  -full support for existing S60 apps (weee!)
  -support for kinetic and light sensors (with Symbian 9.5 I guess, as it already supports that)
  -a new toolkit for creating animated, modern UI's
  -full Flash support!

  It doesn't bother me having several buttons at the bottom whereas the iPhone only had one, I guess it's necessary to keep it compatible with the existing Symbian apps, but I'd much rather have a phone that doesn't need a stylus at all, iPhone's proven it can be done.

  I would love to have the ability to choose touch vs. non touch on one device. I'm not a huge fan of the touchscreen interface, and that microscopic keyboard has me nervous.

  Good stuff so far, but i wonder if they will still gimp the hardware with very limited ram. To run this as smoothly as it should be, the device will need generous resources.

  Fast job Stefan, but i guess Rafe's laptop was very handy. Should have taken it from you via microsd swap.

  @jthousand: non-TS phone will still exist.

  @Andrew: well you can only use your fingus and forget about the sylus If you're worried about the small keyboard, well since ths device wil be open to anything, I would be surprised if a 3rd party solution wouldn't appear to make bigger keyboards amongst many other solutions.

  @Alexandr3: I've used touchscreen devices for a long time on Winmo and the programs that were intended to make the keyboard bigger used up all of the screen real estate. This made the whole user experience suffer.

  […] Some lucky folk have got their hands on one already and posted videos etc. of the beast, check them out at maemoapps.com and tabletblog.com.As impressed as I am by the N810, I think I’ve just gotten my excuse to buy a second hand N800- which, to be fair, isn’t made obsolete by this new model.Press releaseS60 Likes to be TouchedWell, it was kinda inevitable that this would come along at some point. Touch screen interfaces with S60. I think this, along with the new UI will be great, I just hope they don't do away with keypads completely, because I type slowly when there's no tactile feedback from keys. The demo at the Symbian Smartphone Show was very theatrical and dramatic. I’ve been hunting for a video of it, the best I could find was on intomobile.com here. […]
