After nokia 7710 nokia never released a touchscreen phone. Why??
How many of you are waiting for a widescreen touch phone???

I am top on the list. Come on nokia

Yeah, they should have never shown that video. A lot of people are going to wait for that instead of the other "mediocre" devices that were shown at the event. I was like "yeah, I might get the N95 8GB and...Oh ***** what was that?!!!". So it might be a bit too soon to tell what comes of this. I may just wait out the rest of the year to gather up even more funds for what's around the corner.

I brought my nokia 7710 in 2005. It was widescreen and almost had everything the iphone has except for the slick user interface and the accelerometers. Infact it had mms and video recording also. I personally think the s90 series was a great idea. It was totaly pissed off at nokia for abandoning it . Look at what apple did!! Copied the same s90 idea and made it slicker and the whole world goes gaga over how innovative applr is!!. Its a good thing that apple woke nokia from its slumber. Now we are going to get a slew of touchscreen phones from nokia which will crush apple.
In 2006 i brought the n770 and in 2007 n800.
Now after all yhese ill never buy a non touchscreen phone.
Ill wait ...........

Wasn't the 7710 limited to 512 mb max memory cards? And somewhat hampered by what many called "glacial speed"?

I think it went upto 1gb. Yeah it was pretty slow. But this was in q4 of 2004. If nokia developed the s90 platform.... We would have had a touchscreen phone equivalent to e90. Now compare a touchscreen e90 to the iphone!! Well that is a no brainer!!!!!

The 7710 was one of my favorites as well. I got to use a prototype in 2004 and was so sad to see it discontinued. The full view key was used to its ultimate capability as it was integrated into the PIM and some of the other apps. At least some elements of its UI made its way into the Internet Tablet. The memory and slowness were somewhat common to all Symbians at the time and were not unique to the 7710.

If the next Nokia touch screen phone is at all similar to the 7710 and includes the US flavor of 3G, I will buy it on day one.
