Well, about the slow response, I have half expected it to be slow. Nokia has always loyally kept its habit of using the bare min processor reqd to run the software in its phones. So generally almost all its smartphones have been known to be sluggish. I am not surprised if this phone too is no exception.
I have also observed that generally those who have used Nokia's symbian offerings have assumed the mindset that the Symbian OS itself is slow. Its not the case. Its slow processor and min amount of RAM that Nokia puts in its phones thats responsible for the sluggishness. I do agree there are problems in the firmware too which can be resolved for a performance boost, but still the hardware is the major part to blame.

N82 has been fast since it came out..They are adding more features, and improving a few apps like music, camera etc..
The core performance of the phone was always very fast...

Was looking forward to this. Just found out it has a resistive touch screen (Nintendo DS) as opposed to a capacitive touchscreen. 
It will be a bit of a hassle operating with the finger.

Price it at sub 20K and I'm sure there would be thousands of happy souls including me, and a few unhappy souls too (you know who)..! 
Is it saar ??? This is nt ifone . Check all nokia prices starting from lowend to highend. Check $ & Euro prices and compare to India.Btw the MRP is supposed to be Rs 19XXX. so the street prices will be arnd 18k or so
or even lower. I know some people here wont be able to sell their old phones. Its like HD 4850 cming and destryoing the whole 8800GT(XXX) market :rofl:

I am not denying it.... Nokia might price it there.... but considring the price market of touchscreen phones... a.k.a the HTC Touch DIamond, the iPhone n the Samsung Omnia.... Nokia would like to cash in on the price wars here....
Dont forget its their first touchscreen phone, and India is a Nokia fanbase, they can sell anything here.... Hell the N72 is a major hit
So i expect the phone to be around the 30k mark

Nokia has enjoyed its success here in India because they have played the market sensibly. I havent seen Nokia phone launch here at jacked up pricing on purpose to cash the hype. Every single Nokia phone launched here at costs less than EU / US markets and it only got cheaper over time. N95 was hyped up, E71 was hyped up, N82 was overhyped. Still all these phones launched here at expected pricing and got much cheaper over the few months that followed ( except E71 but its not that old yet ).
HTC Touch diamons, iPhone cost a lot in the first place. They do not deserve their price tags but it does not mean that these phones are priced more than international market here. They are overpriced world wide.
Touch or no touch, does not really matter for Nokia. Nokia is launching it in XpressMusic. And Nokia wouldnt even dare to price Xpress Music phone in excess of 20k. If that it to happen, it will mean they are taking an axe, and chopping their own legs with it. They wont put this phone in competition with their own high end N series as well.
