Nokia has been teasing all of us for a while now when it comes to their new touch screen based Symbian devices. It appears that this week Nokia has decided to let the cat out of the bag, releasing news of a final market date, and what type of phones will be featured...sort of.
First lets start with the type of phones Nokia plans to push out. According to Kai Oistamo who heads up the Nokia device division, the handset manufacturer will focus on their mid-level range of smartphones, keeping them out of competition with the likes of the iPhone, but still offering up devices to a large market.
A market so large in fact that Nokia says they decided to go after the mid-range market because it occupies nearly 50% of all handset sales.
For the most exciting news however we need only turn to the release date. Nokia is planning on a ship date sometime before the second half of 2008 ends, meaning Symbian based touch screens should hit the market in the next 5-6 months at the latest.
