An interesting smartphone has been announced today by OKWAP in Taiwan.
The S868 uses the keypad to create an iPod style scroll wheel rather than using the popular joystick that most phones rely on. Whether this interface works as well as a joystick or the iPod wheel is subject to some debate and until we can test the S868 its not easy to comment.
The phone uses Windows Mobile 5.0 and includes a stylus and keypad in quite a small 106 x 51 x 18mm, 122 grams) package. The touch sensitive screen is 2.4 inches and the camera is 2 mega pixels with autofocus.
Apparently the virtual scroll wheel allows users to slide pictures from folder to folder using the scroll wheel.
Expect the S868 to be released during February in Taiwan only.
