Nokia Tube: the iPhone killer?
Though Nokia is the leading brand in the mobile sector, its status was affected a bit by the iPhone from Apple. Now, the mobile giants have come with an answer to the iPhone.
Itroducing, the Nokia Tube, the latest and highly rumored exceptional Touch phone. The Nokia Tube is supposed to run on the latest Nokia 5th generation S60 full Touch User Interface and is not going to follow suite with any of Nokia's earlier phone series like the N-series.
The Nokia Tube already seems like a high-roller device that will create a tough competition for the iPhone in the market. The Tube specs include a 16M TFT display with 360 x 640 pixels resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The size of the display is somewhere between 3 and 3.5-inches. The display will offer a tactical feedback but the multi touch feature has been done away with.
The Tube, also known as the 5800 XpressMusic (or XpressMedia – no one seems quite sure), has an expected component list that reads like a roll-call for modern smartphones: behind the 640 x 360-pixel display will be a 3.2-megapixel camera (assisted by a dual-LED flash), 140MB of memory and GPS, EDGE, HSDPA (3G), wi-fi, Bluetooth radios.
An optional input method will be the Stylus bundled along with the phone. Hand-writing recognizition is available.
The communication department of Nokia Tube is at its peak, sporting quad-band GPRS/ EDGE/UMTS and HSDPA with uPnP support, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP support. The built-in GPS with A-GPS and geotagging support completes the wireless communication set of the hi-end Nokia Tube device.
There is also going to be an auto-focus camera with a 3.2MP camera.
Nokia Tube is expected to hit the market at the 1Q 2009.
