There are a host of new ways to interact with the new S60 Touch OS. With the addition of a touch-input interface, the S60 Touch UI will obviously accommodate finger-taps on the screen. But, the most important aspect of S60 Touch will be the web-browsing interface.

The iPhone Safari browser has the touchscreen market dominated in terms of user experience and intuitive use. And, with the new iPhone 2.0 OS, web browsing is faster and more full-featured. So, how will S60 Touch fare against Cupertino’s entrenched competition? We have no idea, but a few screenshot of the touch-based web browser have hit the ‘tubes and give us at least a cursory idea of what to expect.

What you’re seeing is a Nokia 5800 Tube running the S60 Touch OS. The handset’s display is beautifully high-res, and supports haptic-feedback enabled finger-inputs!

For now, we’ll have to make do with searching the web for S60 Touch/Nokia Tube pictures and the brief cameo in Dark Knight.
