Although that Nokia sits fearlessly at the top of the mobile phone industry, they certainly want to keep up to date to latest trends when it comes to cell phones and smartphones. Currently what Nokia really lacks is a touchscreen handset. We’ve all witnessed Apple’s success at selling their second generation iPhone. Despite it’s their second cell phone, they managed to sell 1 million units in the first weekend. That’s incomparable to the million phones Nokia sells every quarter but still it points out a fact. Toucscreens are popular. Smartphones with touchscreens are popular. Samsung has the Instinct and the Omnia, HTC has a few Touch devices. Even RIM is working on their first one. So Nokia simply has to follow.

Although there’s no name for the future Nokia touchscreen handset, it’s rumored that it will hit the market by the end of the year. It’s also said this first device will be an entry level to mid-range smartphone designated to the masses. Surely they will be developing iPhone like smartphones in the near future, but in the mean time I’d like to test out their first touchscreen phone.
