Nokia to flaunt S60 Touch UI at Mobile World Congress
Since its grand announcement last year, Nokia's next-gen UI for S60 has been little more than a pretty face teased to us by a handful of quick, glancing videos and overly slick ad campaigns; 2008's in full swing now, though, and the time has come for S60 Touch to get just a bit more real. The company has announced through its See into S60 blog that it'll be demoing the S60 Touch UI at Mobile World Congress this year -- a show that's creeping right up on us on the 11th of this month (yay!) -- and while there's no promise of exactly what's going to be demoed, they could demo just about anything and it'd be more than what's been demoed so far. Also on the docket is some info regarding "S60 sensor technologies," suggesting that S60 Touch devices will likely rely heavily on accelerometers and... well, you know, touch sensors to do their thing.

I dont really think that first phones working s60 ts will be any norm N series feature monsters, but i got high hopes for s60 ts os anyways.
Hapticos sounds perfect.

How do you set up your account so you can get the quick button that automatically posts a comment complaining that whatever in the post is just another iPhone copy?

who cares... don't get me wrong, these devices will porbably be amazing, but no carrier in the U.S. has the brains... or the balls to pick up a Nokia device like this.

This is kind of liberating, I feel like I can type whatever I want since I can't see any comments. The layout / content is broken.
Anyway, I think Nokia is falling behind by not having touch screens, as well as their ambivalent attitude (at best) towards software upgrades.

If Nokia performs as usual this will be the perfect iPhone i.e. can send mms, send contacts over sms, sdk out of the box, not ridiculous charges i.e. for ringtones just to name a few.

Once this is out, there's very little reason to get the gimped HTC devices, nor live with Windows Mobile's sluggishness.
