Devinder Kishore, Director of Marketing for Nokia India is quoted as saying over the weekend that

[Nokia] will have lot of touchscreen phones coming up, including an Nseries device very soon.

Whilst he could not be drawn on a release date, 2009 is the expected time frame, plenty  of time for the N96 to get a good following!

It does beg the question though, if you have touch screen, do you automatically loose the sliding buttons, and if you do, does that lead to loss of functionality. On top of that, there are many who do not like the touch screen effect, even with Apples sleek adverts for the iPhone, with certain Samsung phones reportedly performing particularly badly.
