Nokia's previous stance of 'No touchscreens for us, thank you
sir' has now been well and truly blown away after the
announcement of another touchscreen device, the 6208c, which
follows the 5800 XpressMusic and the N97 from the Finns.  The
6208c has a stylus that is "inspired by bamboo slips and works
perfectly with the large colour display which is reminiscent of
an ink stone", according to Nokia.  The screen is optimised for
Chinese character recognition, allowing the user to construct
messages in the 'most natural way'.  C for yourself  However,
you may have noticed a fairly Oriental theme running through
here, and that's because that c after the 6208 refers to the
handset being designed specifically for those in China.
However, all is not lost. The 3.2MP-toting, 8GB memory card-
supporting, dual LED flash-wielding handset will be coming to
select markets in 2009, so if this just happens to be anywhere
in Europe we'll let you know.
