It is no secret that Nokia has been planning their touchscreen devices for a long time. Nokia N800 and N810, even though their aren't phones, but internet tablets, have shown the path the manufacturer plans to follow, but besides these Linux-based devices, we could have seen the Series 60 Touch interface, which will be the operating system of touchscreen smartphones. Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's Executive Vice President of the new Markets unit has told that the Finnish manufacturer will use touchscreen solutions not only in the high-end devices, but these will be made available even in the cheapest models. Analyzing the current markets, Anssi Vanjoki has reported that this technology is currently available only in the upper segments, but it is important for the Finnish manufacturer to provide such solutions that will be available for the broadest range of customers.
Nokia VP's words indeed sound great, as the manufacturer has recently made lots of technology, specific only for high-end devices, available in cheaper handsets too. It is enough to mention the fact that in low-end models the cSTN display has been replaced by the 128 x 128 pixels large TFT, and there are some cheap phones that also have a camera. Another great achievement from this year is that the low-mid segment has also received 240 x 320 pixels large displays, along with cameras of a couple of megapixels resolution. The manufacturer has also revealed that soon they will make navigation available for many Series 40-based handsets.
