Nokia Aims To Kill iPhone With It’s “iPhone Killer”
Presented in the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference, held in California, this handset is based on Symbian S60 platform. Told as Nokia’s first touchscreen handset, codenamed ‘Tube’, the big one from Nokia expected to be released end this year, because there going also some high-ends to be released then and a healthy competition is likely to be created. Although Tube appears almost as an iPhone copy, with the only noticable exception of Nokia’s logo, iPhone has readily been challenged by Nokia, hence called the Tube iPhone Killer. It will be interesting to see an iPhone copy going to ‘kill’ iPhone.
Nokia seems quiet an aggressive guy in a mood to outclass the another guy iPhone who has been quiet successful so far but a ‘not-giant’ in the world of handsets which is dominated very much by the former. And because of this there are received some strict signals from Nokia.
Comparing the sales which iPhone had in the last six months with that of Nokia’s, in the very words of Forum Nokia’s vice president, Tom Libretto:
“We’ve done that since we’ve had dinner on Friday”.
Note that the sales magnitude of some days of Nokia included all of Nokia’s models while its iPhone alone the model on the other side which took almost half a year to come to the sales point equalling the former. Such an ‘expert’ comparison, by a man of such designation? What could be said about it.
The Tube will have 3G connectivity and java support, features which the iPhone lacked. No words for the exact date of shipment and price yet.

oh wow good article by the way, but as far as i can think nokia cant beat in its class, for example lets have a look on ipods many many high quality (better than ipod) mp3 players came but none of them were able to get ipod down, have a look on apple’s lappies they are so expensive and lappy having same performance but from other company cost almost half but still apple lappies selling like mads. Apple have enough market worth and they gained people’s trust by putting finest quality hardware in their products and puting enough eye candy to seduce their fans

Competition is good. I am a Nokia fan from way back, so I would be more prone to buy this phone than the Iphone.
