I like TS and today is a good day! :)Please 2008, come fast.Unregistered o. m. g.langdona What exactly is tactile feedback?viipottaja Interesting! Big day for S60 and Nokia. What I was surprised with was how traditional it looks in the demo in terms of using so much stylus input. Hope they will always provide a finger based option as well for all applications. Having to fiddle with a stylus is so... hmm.. SE? ;)luarvique Hehe, Samsung, HTC, and hordes of nameless Chinese manufacturers to follow...Unregistered I waited to see if Steve Jobs was going to come out. Only 9 months to pull this together since the iphone's launch. Well done. Pity Nokia couldn't have thought of this themselves. This looks simply like spoiler tactics. I hope not as I prefer touchscreen.Extra brownie points to whoever though of the flip-to-silence.lazarus3000 That S60 touch UI looks great, lets hope its not too long before it comes to market. I wonder how it will compare to Apple's touch UI. By the way, the video of the new UI was shot in Porvoo, Finland about 50 kms from Helsinki. I know that because I live there.viipottaja Unregistered, LOL, you seriously think they have been working on this for only 9 months? It's obviously/of course/as has been well known in the road map for at least a couple of years now. Sure, they have accelerated efforts and fine tuned the pitch after iPhone was announced, but iPhone was not the first touch screen device out there.. even Nokia had a few devices with TS before the iPhone.jah TS UI - I always liked the S90 7710. Looking forward to the TS Communicator :)malerocks So what does this mean for UIQ? How different is this as an experience as compared to UIQ on Symbian? Can we assume that Nokia is out to give good competition to UIQ owners (read Sony and Motorola)?jah I suspect UIQ4 will have more iPhone type ergonomics and this is why Moto are interested. Relatively quick way to acquire an advanced TS UI phone range.luarvique Quote:Can we assume that Nokia is out to give good competition to UIQ owners (read Sony and Motorola)?What competition? Do you see UIQ selling anywhere as many phones as S60?Al3xandr3 Langdona it's called haptic feedback. The device shakes a litle when something is pressed. Does anyone have a link to a video where the S60 touch is demoed please?Thanks in advance.vrn So, the last smartphone platform - the one I was sticking with so that I didn't have a dirty screen or random buttons pressed during the call - goes touch screen. Well, I guess no more smartphones for me!Unregistered Check Phil's interview (voice of s60) with the Marketing Manager.I think Phil might be in some trouble when he gets back to Espoo ;)langdona Quote:Originally Posted by vrnSo, the last smartphone platform - the one I was sticking with so that I didn't have a dirty screen or random buttons pressed during the call - goes touch screen. Well, I guess no more smartphones for me!I very much doubt if they are only going to produce S60 devices with touch screens its only an option for manufacturers. I think there will still be devices with phone and qwerty keypads. I used to have a P900 but have not missed the touchscreen much since I got my E61.juwlz I think touch would have to be an additional option - providing an environment more like a desktop / laptop computer. In well-written desktop software, most things can be done using either keyboard or mouse, according to preference. I see no reason why S60+TS shouldn't be the same. If S60 is primarily a keyboard device with TS as an add-on for some models, at least developers won't be able to be lazy about not providing keyboard access to functions (as many desktop programmers are), since they can't rely on touch being available. Then we can have the best of both worlds.There are some things (e.g. web browsing) where some sort of direct pointing capability / mouse replacement is useful, and others (e.g. data entry) where it's a positive pita ... which is why I switched from Windoze Mobile to Symbian (E70 / E90) - I realised I just couldn't live without a keyboard, and a qwerty keyboard at that, on a device that I use primarily as a PDA. On the other hand, just occasionally, being able to point directly at a point on the screen and/or have a scroll bar or scroll wheel would be really useful. JulieHardeep1singh Yesterday, came out an app that lets .net apps run on s60 phones and today s60 gets a touchscreen. This reminds me of an article called 'The Last Smartphone' that i read on AAS a few months ago.All platforms are starting to become so similar to each other. :redface:Chris Handley It's sad that Nokia are so out-of-touch with the market, that it takes Apple to knock some sense into them. (People have been demanding touch-screen Nokia's, especially Communicators, for years but Nokia seemed to think the lack of a touch screen was what defined their phones.)jah But the Nokia 7710 was a touch screen device and with a BT keyboard it was a good Communicator like device. Nokia claims it could afford to run 3 UI systems: S60, S80 & S90. So it decidec to merge S60 and S90 a while ago.Unregistered thats nokia's version of the Iphone. Wats new? Oh its called the Nphone.N stands for Nothing NewN seriesNokiaNever buy.sturgeon Sounds like a move in the wrong direction to me. I don't want a smeary screen either, and I don't want anything much bigger than my N95 in my pocket, so my fat fingers will have to stick with a bluetooth keyboard.I would like a bluetooth mouse to go with it, and what about a bt joystick with feedback and a large roll away screen for the TV out?s.Duncan J Murray As was summed up in a recent N95 versus Iphone : N95 was for creating content, Iphone suited to consuming content. Following that guideline, Nokia would to well to makes sure that all content can be 'consumed' via the touch method, while the stylus method reserved only for 'creating' content. The technical challenge they will face is discriminating between stylus/finger/face - which is crucial if you don't want to hang up the call while you're talking :)Glad that Nokia have taken the competition from the Iphone seriously and are rising to it to create a more user-friendly and appealing user interface, which will make their phones more pleasant and easier to use, but still hopefully being able to preserve their superiority for the power users.DuncMr. O Whow Nokia shot in Porvoo, where i live. Nice!Unregistered Good on you Nokia, but where is the new E90 firmware!Nika4Gena40 Comments / Post New Comment Close Social Web About del.icio.us Digg Facebook Mobility Beat Furl Netscape Yahoo!
