[...] always wanted S60 and Nokia to manufacture a touchscreen device, even before the iPhone. I even delved into the touch UI announcement a while ago and tried to make the most of it. Now I wish we will be treated with more than that one [...]

Glad you liked the post. I had it in prepared for such a long time, in my head, and was always planning on writing it “some day”. As you can see it takes a lot of time of putting together screenshots, ideas,…

As for the buttons gone, I seriously don’t know. Yes a physical button is great, but when we hold the device in our hand, it’s not that difficult to reach for an on-screen button, basically it’s the same as reaching for a physical button except that you couldn’t do it blindfolded. I am really excited to see what S60 will do to address this issue and how the tactile feedback they promissed will deliver.

Touch UI is one thing I have been wanting for such a long time, ever since I got my 3250 (that’s an 18 months now) and I can’t wait to see it in “real” action. Not just a video.

Thats an awesome compilation. Time well spent!
Somehow, touch UI scares me at times. I just hope it doesn’t take away the whole S60 experience we are used to.

I personally am not a fan of touch screens, but if they are going to make the keyboard resizeable it’ll be some respite, in a not physical keypad environment, people with big fingers won’t have much trouble then. But then how are goin to do that? Sideways the keyboard is already streched to the max by default.

The “C” key can be easily replaced by holding your finger down like if you were using a computer mouse. Much easier than the “C” key, and much more computer-like.
