Touchscreen Symbian OS on a Samsung mobile phone next year

Leonard Goh | Aug 29, 2008

To date, there are no Symbian S60 phones that come with touchscreen display, but come next year, we can expect such an implementation to be seen on a Samsung handset.

Mahmood Kalantar, regional director of Symbian S60 in Asia Pacific, said at the launch of the INNOV8 in Vietnam that his company is "working on a touchscreen Symbian OS" and we can expect to see it in a Samsung mobile phone in 2009.

Nokia, which bought over Symbian earlier this year, will probably be the first manufacturer to incorporate the new OS into its phones and we're guessing that the Korean chaebol won't be lagging too far behind.
