Here's a link:

It's similar to the Nokia concept picture when the two halves are docked horizontally (second photo in the link).

Of the 5800: There is haptic feedback, just not region-specific. The entire device shakes/vibrates.

That pic Engadget "leaked" was from a Nokia presentation form wayyyyy many months ago. It really bad journalism on their part as it was stated then that it was not indicative of any device in development.

The microB is much less enjoyable than S60 Web. Besides better resource allocation, the UI allows for viewing on both the nHD and QVGA resolutions. Plus, fit to width and FlashLite 3 support kinda makes microB look like the leftovers of another meal. This spoken from a guy who goes between an S60 and IT device like Congress has gone back and forth like celeberties and marriages ;)

Lastly, the IT would do well to pull the Sensor Framework and most of the rest of the Web Framework services from S60 5th Edition. Besides being a nearly standard set of APIs for things like accelerometers and context-sensitive apps, it would also allow the IT to push the edges of its ability past just being an open source iPhone to something where this development community can really get innovative on the side of writing and making apps (slight dream, but some of you devs excite the mess outa me with how you think).

btw, i just noticed from a ui shot i found, that some of the icons looks like the default app and app manager icons of the IT ui...

Re: Nokia 5800 "Tube" released with some deja-vu
 

Nokia is moving towards using the same icons on all device, and the Ovi service. Its just a major branding effort on their part, not IT love (sorry)

Re: Nokia 5800 "Tube" released with some deja-vu
 

not surprised ;)

these days, a solid brand seems more important then a solid product...

Mobile Burn has some new videos of the 5800 Tube. This is probably going to be my next phone. VGA screen + a fully mature s60 ecosystem of software sounds like a winner to me

The icon evolution has been fun to watch from the inside-- it stimulated a LOT of great discussion.

I'm already saving money for this phone. I can't wait for it to be released.

I don't know if it will replace my N810 because it lacks a physical keyboard and I use my tablet for IM a lot.
