Check out this new smartphone released by Nokia. It has no home button. We can all bag it out if we like, but at least they produced a phone without a home button and show that it can be done.

Also check out this video on the Nokia website... The style of the video is very Apple like....don't you think...

.....hmm wonder where they got that idea from....

Yeah, but it has no home button. Apple could learn a few things from their competitors.

I really like the vertical and horizontal swiping. Makes so much sense ...

Cheers

I agree Dave. Pity it's not on an iPhone though...

They took a leaf out of Apple's book with the video too. Looks good. Is it Symbian or WinPhone?
