The camera was already seen on the N95 and N96, but the touch sensitive screen with a resolution of 640 times 360 pixels wasn’t. Together with 128MB of ram and 32GB of flash storage space inside, and also 256 MB of NAND flash ram, a fast processor, and the Ovi application store with some messenger uniting programs already present in the phone, this is a computer far exceeding PDAs and even good enough to replace your netbook.

It is a computer, camera, mp3 player, radio, mobile phone, netbook, gaming machine, flash disk, everything you think of. A drawing board. GPS device. Alarm clock. Tracking device.
