We have all waited too long for Nokia’s touchscreen handsets but then, they just might surprise us with their next press conference. However, their cellphones sans touch screens are pretty competitive themselves. Now, the rumor that is doing rounds is that Nokia might really launch a touchscreen enabled phone and is called the Nokia 5800 Tube. Even surprising is the bit that it may be released in U.K. as early as October 8th.

The awaited cellphone is going to be the first Nokia device with a Series 60 5th Edition and also a touch screen. We are all eager to know what it is going to be like to try the Nokia’s efforts at bringing a touchscreen enabled cellphone.

After seeing Nokia’s Tube in action and getting a glimpse of the future Touch Communicator, it’s time for the camera to flash, as we check out an 8 megapixel cameraphone. Yes, the device is branded Nokia, but the details are extremely scarce… The handset looks more like a camera than a phone to me, but it’s equally hot.

Turns out that it features Bluetooth, Symbian S60, a speaker and tons of eco-friendliness. This concept phone is made of wood from sustainable forests, so Mother Nature won’t suffer as you take your pics with the aid of the handset.

It looks like there is some good news for folks who are having problems with their new Nokia 5800 NAM phones. If you’ve been following the recent events of the phone having problems connecting to 3G networks, then you’ll need to hope that the updated firmware will be released by Nokia soon. Word on the street is that the solution to this could be a firmware update, which will certainly come as a huge relief to many 5800 owners as that means they won’t have to exchange their mobile phones. The Nokia 5800 NAM initially came with a v11 firmware, so we’ll need to see what updated firmware Nokia comes out with, and hopefully that will be the solution to the problem.
