One of the things I’ve been wanting/waiting for in S60 is the touch capability; I am keyboard + touch screen kind of user.

But that is about to change. At the Symbian Smartphone Show, Nokia announced (and showed) support for touch interfaces.

It was about time. You know, I wouldn’t be surprised that such S60 touch support was available in some form or fashion internally inside Nokia labs for some time now, but, we have to thank Apple with their iPhone for pushing the edge, and now everyone else is reacting and will follow… Nokia should have moved earlier on this, but I guess it really doesn’t matter, as the important thing is that they are moving in the right direction now.

The S60 new user interface features includes touch with tactile feedback, and motion detection; this is great.
