It seems that Nokia is currently working on a phone codenamed “tube” that will compete with Apple’s iPhone. The new phone which was shown in a slide at the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference in California looks similar to the iPhone. The “tube” showed graphical displays, such as a promotion for the movie Shrek the Third. Other capabilities will be featured, such as the ability to upload photos.

“It’s our first touch device,” said Tom Libretto, vice president of Forum Nokia. Interfacing with the system is done via touch similar to the iPhone. He said the company has not published the planned date of shipment for Tube.
