Nokia 5800 Tube browser screenshots appear, underwhelm

Well, we've seen the Nokia 5800 Tube's keyboard, home screen, video player, and uh, Bat-Sonar, so we might as well keep going with these shots of the browser. Kudos to Nokia for delivering something just slightly more impressive this time around than we're used to from S60 Touch, but we're still not feeling the super-90s aesthetic -- check out those icons at the bottom. We're still hoping to be blown away when this thing finally launches, but it's looking less and less likely with each new screenshot.

[Thanks, Marie]

You're being underwhelmed by THE ICONS?!!!?! Are the Android icons any more exciting? And it seems you can't wait for the first device to be released. I mean, neither can I, but come on... THE ICONS?!!?!

I think he is refering to the fact that the icons take up so much of the screen real estate, not the icons themselves

yeah, but icons need to be big for finger operation

but wtf, they're just icons, S60 has themes now y'know?

i agree. i can't believe they're complaining about the icons. those could be changed via a update. how about the important stuff, like how well/fast it renders web pages? i guess engadget cares more about form over function??? o_O

of course if he really is referring to the icons, then I completely agree with, you if that's all you can complain about I guess that's a good thing

Great to see that they don't have any side bar for scrolling and gone more like a'la iphone(and that's a good thing)

Really happy with the screen! Too bad that the guy who did take the picture didn't have any pic from some page not using Asian fonts

Icons and font at the bottom look like standard GTK business.

Any word on whether it will support mail for exchange?
