Nokia Coming Out with Multi-touch Phone?

This one's just coming in. If we are to believe the reports coming in from various quarters, Nokia is likely to announce a capacitive touchscreen enabled handset in Q3 of 2009. And the new phone may also sport multi-touch functionalities.

The rumors stem from a recent report by Digi-Times that says that Nokia will adopt a Synaptics touchscreen IC (integrated circuit) for its "upcoming" handset. Mind you, we're not talking about the N97 here. Digi Times has also reported in a subsequent article that Wintek is supplying Nokia with capacitive touchscreens. Nokia had sourced resistive touchscreens for the 5800 XpressMusic from this same company.

We will need to wait for more details on this supposedly exciting piece of hardware that should see the light of the day in the very near future. On second thoughts, could this be the one Nokia had supposedly leaked back in December? Remember. Anyone?
