  Nokia Turns Up Too Late For iPhone Party

By Branko Miletic | Monday | 16/06/2008

They say its better to be late than never, but really, you would think those long Scandinavian winters would have given the Nokia R & D team time to come up with an iPhone alternative much earlier instead of a prototype that will be released sometime next year.

According to the web site Symbian Freak, the Nokia Tube as its known, is a 10 cm long smartphone with quadband, 3G, Bluetooth and integrated GPS with geotagging support, built-in Wi-Fi or HSDPA connectivity and a camera that is "better than the one that we can find on an iPhone."

The 16:9 touch style interface design "doesn't seem finger-touch friendly, judging from the size of the ‘options' and ‘exit' items, which may also be controlled by the two buttons on the bottom of the phone", according to Symbian Freak.

But who cares? It won't be out for another year.

Note to Nokia R & D team: Less Finlandia vodka and more work!
