Nokia launching ‘high-end handset’ with capacitive touchscreen in Q3?
DigiTimes has a couple of back-to-back rumors from its industry sources that could be of interest to Nokia fans. Yesterday, the Taiwanese rumor rag said that Nokia will adopt a Synaptics touchscreen integrated circuit (which may or may not support multi-touch) solution for an upcoming “high-end handset” due for launch in the 3rd quarter of 2009. To be clear, this is not the N97 which is expected to go on sale in June. Now DigiTimes adds that capacitive touch panel orders from Nokia have been received from Wintek, the same supplier fitting Nokia’s 5800 with resistive touchscreens. We’re big fans of silky smooth, capacitive glass panels on finger-friendly touchscreen phones so we’ll be stoked if these rumors prove true.
