The Nokia Tube is coming soon. The Nokia Tube is the company’s “iPhone killer”. Or in other words, it will look similar to the iPhone, and have a lot of similar features. The Nokia Tube is Nokia’s first attempt at a touch device, and will feature tons of media capabilities - such as graphical displays (movies, photos), be able to upload pictures, etc.

It is Nokia's first touch device” according to the, vice president of Forum Nokia. Interfacing with the system is done via touch similar to the iPhone.

The Nokia Tube will also support Java, one thing the iPhone does not. Also, interfacing on the phone will be similar to the iPhone, with haptic feedback and such. No word yet on pricing or availability. I can’t wait to check out the Nokia Tube in person.
