The question here is whether Nokia has been able to successfully develop a touch screen interface. The fact that it's still not available makes me suspect that they are having some problems with it. On the other hand, UIQ has a proven and well working touch interface which will be their contribution to the SF. In return, SE will be able to use the S60 touch without royalties. If Nokia already has touch capability why would they be doing SE such a big favor?
You will find out soon with tube. Just remember tube is not even the flagship but from what we have seen in the demo vid it looks more impressive than my current P1.

@ares, I think that's good news and possibly bad news at the same time.
It looks like Opera 9.5 may be freely available, at least the beta version seems to be. However, with the recent developments I'm concerned that they may decide not to waste their energy on a UIQ3 version.

So are we going to see any smartphones from SE released this year other then the G700/G900 or is the C905 the smartest phone from SE this year?

Judging from his other comments there probably was no Hecaro to begin with.
Also just found this article:

Will Sony Ericsson be the next Motorola?
Interestingly, there's another company out there who are also in danger of going down the same route: Sony Ericsson. Their profits have fallen by 47% in the first few months of 2008, caused largely by a range of phones last year that were simply uninspiring.
After a raft of successes with their Walkman and CyberShot phones, the company simply released yet more versions of the same thing. It became boring to write about, and reading the forums it became evident that other mobile phone users (and even people passionate about Sony Ericsson) felt the same way. Sony Ericsson, too, it seemed, were guilty of resting on their laurels while Nokia, Samsung and LG upped their game.

Eomer can be right, and for all I know he probably is. But what do I care whats coming out in the middle of next year? If anyones gonna do some long term waiting, they may aswell wait for Symbian foundation then, which will have THE BEST specs that these contributing manufacturers want to offer us in smartphones. It will surely outshine whatever we will see next year. What we will see next year will only be an intermediate, outdated in a year. Its more logical then to get a smartphone now and live out the wait with something that wont be outdated for 2 years
Then move on to Symbian foundation.
I personally think Symbian foundation is a double-edged sword.
On the one hand its good that its open source, one consistent platform, huge variety of apps resulting, everyone is running the same thing, so huge amount of competition, so we will see more of what we want to see in the way of great devices.
However, the negative impact of this is that SE has always been able to turn around and say 'yes, well, thats all great for you Mr Nokia, but does your smartphone have a touchscreen to it?'. SE wont have that advantage OVER the competitors anymore, so will SE devices be as popular then, or will we experience more of an unfortunate shift towards Nokia, then? I think SE has a touch of quality Nokia will never have, so Ill most likely want to stick with SE. But how will the rest of the market respond? It sounds interesting.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before SE's competitors also invested in the same technology, though. And the same will go for Apple with touch UIs, but I think a time may come when specs of other devices will get the better of the iphone (they cant keep beefing the specs up while keeping it as thin forever
And if the iphone is no longer suitable for the fashion conscious, then it is suitable for none IMO).
