My Opinion:

One glance at the picture and you know this is a direct competitor of Apple's iPhone. Most noticeably in the specification sheet is the powerful Carl Zeiss 7.2megapix camera with 5x optical zoom. Although this little monster weights 15-grams lighter than the iPhone, but its 160MB memory is nothing as compared to iPhone's massive 8GB (max).

On the other hand, it boasts a VGA touch-screen doubles the resolution of Apple's offering. It's just getting more exciting when this website mentions that the N98 has in-built graphics accelerator and Wifi 802.11b/g/n!! WOW~

Sadly, retail price & availability is still pretty much an unknown.

  3. Yeah, I agre with brian.

    I think maybe there will be something like that in future. At least close to that.

    Never heard of symbian S70 3rd edition though. haha

    Anyway, nokia will be clever. If the phone is 7.2mp, it will sure need lotsa space for photos. So they will squeeze a 8gb hdd just for fun. Haa! Cheers
