Thank God for this little functional sense. A resistive screen is good for both Stylus and finger pointing too.

The real innovation has to be in the software (GUI kit) and hardware etc, not in copying the sensitivity and finesse of capacitive screens.

Another gem is the USB charger. I am glad Nokia seems to be going sensibly so far on the RX-51 front.
Now I just need to start saving furiously for this long awaited phone/tablet.
Hope we can buy an unlocked version which will also work on AT&T ?

Nothing about haptics.

Sure, you can use a stylus, but it has to be a special stylus designed to simulate the electromagnetic properties of skin, and it's not nearly as precise as a proper stylus on a resistive touchscreen.

Is this similar to the dual mode on say something like a N95, were you can select voip (internet calls) or regular calls and have it switch when your hooked to a wifi and even set it as the default mode of calling?

No, this is a feature where you can stay on GSM call and have simultaneous data call using another (GPRS) channel. Since it is GPRS... the speed is not earth shattering... :rolleyes:

Here is direct quote from the test report:
Quote:

This device has Voice-over-IP/Dual Transfer Mode capability for use at the ear. Therefore, SAR for multi slot GPRS mode was evaluated against the head profile of the phantom. Dual Transfer Mode is a feature that utilises the multi-slot GPRS capability in this device; it allows simultaneous transmission of voice and data during the same call, using the same transmitter and antenna.

*sigh*

That brings back some really bad memories...

Damnit... no Canadian 3G frequencies. I wonder if I'm SOL or if there will be a Canadian variant.

It's getting closer than we think. Sept 2-3 Nokia World will reveal it all. =)

...and then it'll just be the same lovely 6 month waiting from announcement to availability that they had with the N97. So any moment now...in February 2010.

OK, I'll go away now. Carry on.

Sorry about the post, got too excited and forgot to back-track to make sure no duplicates.

I remember reading it somewhere that is expected to be out before end of year... something like Nokia will release 6 touch devices this year..

So N97, N97 Mini, 5800, 5800X, 5530 and n900 all fits in very well into the 2009 schedule. =)

Hoping they release AT&T 3G band version.
