TheStreet.com reports that Nokia will this year “finally embrace the touchscreen movement” in the form of the futuristic Nautilus range of cell phones.

This E97 concept features a full French format ‘AZERTY’ keyboard and a small LED screen in a very slick package.

Just when you thought the N-series format was dead Nokia has confirmed yesterday’s rumours online of the expected release of its first 8 megapixel camera phone, the N86.

Following hot on the heels of the Blackberry Storm Nokia has at last released details of its first QWERTY sliding smartphone in the form of the N97 which builds on the standard Symbian S60 OS with a UI layer optimized for touchscreens and some surprise features which put it ahead of the competition.

Yes, that’s really what they’re saying about it. The Nokia 6260 is built around quick access to search engines and points of interest from the home screen.
