Very interesting indeed! Note the head phone plug.. Maybe something similar will get announced for other markets too, perhaps in 1H06?

i take that amazed OMGs back..hmm...touchscreen, 1.3cam(only?) no flash, no Wi-fi/WLAN(aw c'mon), no directional buttons(d'oh), 208x320 screen(wha?? N90 has more pixels at less screen space) and only 65K tft? i think ill wait for the P990i... :p

Keep in mind the specs are tailored for Chinese market and with a certain price point/profit target. E.g. WiFI may not be as widespread in China yet (perhaps I am wrong)? Maybe there is a directional button or scroller on the side?

Btw, just in case you did not notice, there is a live pic in the M-R rumor forum too.

Wow, nokia with UIQ. I really love that design. Its decent. No stupid ugly flip or an out of place qwerty board.

P990 for me still though. Nothing ground breaking, but since its not for our market, don't frankly care. Its a sign though that we'll be seeing more of it in the future. That will probably replace the p990 (that i shud get,,unless theres some ultimately stupid flaw)

Give Nokia a few months, they'll reveal exactly the same thing but something twice as large a buggy OS just to annoy the rest of the world.........

LOL I'm not hyperventilating over it...but it's pretty exciting:p

Feature set isn't great, but like aforementioned it's for a different region...

I love the simple classic look, but hate the extra bulk...did you see that side-by-side pic with the 6630?? Touchscreen though would be pretty cool...:cool:
