Live pics and details of Nokia Tube leaked

More details about the upcoming Nokia Tube phone have made their way to the omnipresent Web after a recent developer conference.

According to enthusiast Web site Symbian Freak, the Tube will not be part of the Nseries portfolio. The first S60 Touch phone will also not be a flagship model. Instead, the second device which will come shortly after the first, is apparently the one to look out for.

The Tube (not its real name) is said to come with a 16:9 touchscreen LCD between 3 and 3.5 inches and has an autofocus camera that's "better than the one that we can find on an iPhone but still not as good as on the latest Nseries devices", says Symbian Freak.

Other purported features include quad-band GSM connectivity with Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA and Wi-Fi. It'll also have built-in GPS with support for geotagging functions. The report added that the phone will not have multi-touch capabilities, though it'll have "tactility feedback".

Nokia is keeping a very tight rein on information about the upcoming touch UI on the S60. It is not saying anything other than the fact that this is supposed to be out in the second half of this year (which we already know). But if what Symbian Freak blogged about turns out right, the phone will arrive in Q1 2009.
