But have they got the touch?

Nokia, please, why do you keep doing this?

It's been 18 months since the iPhone tore through the world of mobiles and cut into the top-end device sales of every major manufacturer.

Now, whilst the G1 and the Blackberry storm have many problems, both the manufacturers (HTC & RIM), have at least realised that a Capacitive touch screen (a screen requiring no downwards force for interaction) is an essential to compete. - yes, I know that the storm has a rather different take on this concept.

It's sad that the new Nokia N97, Nokia's long-awaited high-end phone running the touch screen enabled version of Series 60 appears to have a resistive touch screen; I'm not keen on the resistive touch screen in my remote control, let alone on a new smart phone.

Time will tell, Nokia haven't confirmed what type of screen it is (nor mentioned a stylus), so maybe early indications are wrong. I hope so, because the form factor, along with the high res screen and decent camera, would be a welcome addition to the market.
