In your face, k750i. In your face, i-phone. Just when I thought Nokia was falling behind in the product development race, they show that the old horse can still fly.

Nokia announced a trio of S60 phones today, indicating several things. First, S60 is becoming the base OS for Nokia multimedia phones, and the future is multimedia, so the future is S60. Second, Nokia is keeping up with the Joneses -- releasing phones better than competing SE products (K750i topped by N90; W800 topped by N91) and Motorola's (N91 topping the i-phone).

Release dates: N90 (twisting 2mp Carl Zeiss camera phone): 2Q '05
N91 (4gb music phone): end of 2005
N70 (2mp camera phone, smallest s60 phone): 3Q '05  ¶ 7:36 AM
