More Nokia prototypes spotted on the Net: N79, N85 and Nokia “Tube” with S60 Touch

.

Following the news reported yesterday, tonight some very interesting pictures were leaked on Flickr. Only some hours later, the pictures were removed and the user page erased…. a very nice way of taking the scene, after the worldwide media event of Apple Keynote.

Those pictures, altough some apparently strange details (vodafone brand on a prototype?), seems to be authentic. They show three new phones from Nokia: The N85, already seen yesterday, the rumored Nokia N79 ( but it seems a nonsense, as the N78 has still to reach the stores), and the long-awaited 5800 Xpress Music, codename Nokia Tube: a veeery long phone, with a vaguely familiar (ehm…) design and touchscreen interface.

But to be completely honest, why we had to wait 2008 to have a touchscreen Nokia with stylus, since it’s an already old technology? Somebody tell them that stylus are annoying, and today’s touchscreens are made using multitouch, using fingers. And it has not to be a very expensive solution.
