Yep, the Nokia Tube is no longer just a whispered rumour as images have now become available along with a few details on its feature pack. Symbian-freak.com reports the Tube operates on the latest Nokia 5th gen S60 full Touch UI, and is to be the pilot handset of a brand new Nokia series.
Actually, the new series won’t have the Nokia Tube as its flagship handset as the flagship handset is due to be released shortly after the Nokia Tube. The Nokia Tube is expected to sport a 16M TFT 360 x 640 pixels display, so the display size should fall between 3 and 3.5 inches, and will offer tactile feedback, however will not have the multi-touch function as the Apple iPhone.
The Tube also has a stylus input option along with handwriting recognition. Tube has Wifi, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP support, quad-band GPRS/EDGE/UMTS plus HSDPA and uPuP support. There will also be a camera of sorts but as yet the megapixels are not known. So you can expect the Nokia Tube to hit the markets sometime in Q1 2009.
