The iPhone killer - Nokia Tube

Nokia’s 5^th generation S60 phone, most rumored as iPhone killer, has full touch user interface. It is not officially announced yet but has become one of the hot gadgets in the mobile market.

The Tube is expected to have 3 to 3.5 inches display, 16:9 aspect ratio and 360x640 pixels with 16 million TFT screen, but unlikely to have multi-touch function like iPhone. The phone will have stylus support. The phone will support 3G, HSDPA, GPRS/UMTS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, built-in GPS, Nokia Maps Application, and Geotagging.

Nokia is very popular and best selling mobile company in India. Apple is going to launch iPhone in July with 3G technology and 3G is not so popular in India. So, if Nokia launches the iPhone killer with more facility and in cheaper price, many will go for Nokia.

Waiting for more news and specification about the Nokia Tube to compare it with iPhone.
