 The touch interface for Nokia's S60 platform is certainly as nice looking as plain old S60, but it just didn't seem to go far enough. Sure, we tried scrolling through lists with our finger, and using gestures to move between images in the gallery, but seriously, Nokia, have you tried the iPhone? Of course, S60 is a massive platform, so perhaps Nokia had to design a touch interface for the mid-range, instead of only the flagship N-series phones. But just as they've added and improved to the media interface on the N-series phones, we hope that the S60 touch interface is adaptable enough that the first high-end touch device will go way beyond what we saw here in Barcelona. Release: January 2008.
Pros: Touch on an S60, just like folks have been asking for. Still looks stylish and colorful.
Cons: Doesn't come close to the iPhone's slick interface. Touch features seem shallow, we want to see much more.
