If we had to add anything to Nokia’s already feature rich N-series phones (the N95, for example) it would be a keyboard (or a touchscreen, but let’s say keyboard here). Boy Genius has a spy shot of an upcoming N-series (not E-series) phone that has this full-sized QWERTY keyboard that’s set for a 2nd half 2008 release.
Here’s what they know in terms of specs: S60 3rd Edition FP2 OS, 5 or 6-megapixel camera, 30FPS VGA (640×480) video recording and a candybar form factor. To us, the keyboard’s the big difference between a phone being a phone with data capabilities and a data phone. [Boy Genius]

Friday, July 25, 2008 at 6:16 AMNokia really needs to produce market leading pda phones with a full qwerty keyboard (and touchscreen technology) if it wants to stay number 1 in the longterm and maintain the most market share.
I own such phones as the Nokia N95, Apple iPhone (first generation) and i-Mate JasJar
Phones I’m looking forward too include the upcoming Sony Experia X1 with the most anticipation
Phones I would have bought include the HTC Shift, except its not a phone! If it could have made phone calls I would have bought it as soon as it went on sale, I even had all the money saved up but alas when I rang HTC they told me it can’t make phone calls.
