So Mobile Review's got its
Sony Ericsson G700 review up in all its epic, War & Peace-style glory that the site is so well known for. Don't get us wrong, that's all well and good; it's an interesting phone and there's no question that we'll get around to reading the sucker from beginning to end in the near future. What really has our immediate attention, though, is one of the test photos taken with the G700's camera depicting some sort of touch user interface on a
Nokia N95. Judging from everything
we've seen of Nokia's own S60 touch UI, we can say with confidence that this ain't it; besides, the N95's design language is dead (just take one hard look at the
N96 to confirm it) so we can't imagine some future device out of Espoo retrofitting a touchscreen onto an N95's shell. So what's going on here? Even if it's a third-party program, it can't work. It just can't. Or can it?

Update: Turns out this is from the new Knight Rider series.
Cars with Mac keyboards, modified N95s with touchscreens -- what other implausible goodies do these guys get? Thanks, everyone!

Maybe it's based on something from the trolltech team, or the maemo team?
Or it could be a random .jpg the threw up on the screen for shits and giggles (at the expense of engadget).
None of you guys saw the pilot to the new Knightrider series? That's the fake N95 that the villain uses. Download it and see for yourselves!
Good catch.
It's from the pilot episode of new Knight Rider.
Here, I posted some screenshots from in playing in WMP.

As Vreenak would say, its a fake.

I nearly howled when I read this. It's so bloody true: I've had to come back to a review on that site more than once. Take water breaks and whatnot.
