Tube watch: Nokia’s touchscreen secret lets its browser slip this week…

nokia-5800-tube-screenshot01.jpgOk, time for another round of pics of Nokia’s most famous unannounced handset. This time we are not getting any more smudgetastic hardware shots, but some much more focussed snaps of the device’s internet browser from the folks over at Daily Mobile who snaffled the leak.

It has to be said, where touchscreens are concerned in mobiles, the function that stands to benefit the most from a more intuitive interface is the internet browser and from what we can see here, everything looks much like you might expect.

That said, things do look a little cramped on there, despite the generous screen size and seeing as Apple has sewn up almost all of the most useful patents in this area, chances are zooming into specific parts of web pages won’t be quite as dream-like as it is on the iPhone. A landscape viewing mode would be nice too, but hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, Nokia could well have a sleeve full of solutions for these sorts of things up its, erm, sleeves.

More pics after the jump.
