The phone looks pretty promising but is it a capacitive or resistive touchscreen? If Nokia's utilizing a resistive touchscreen, I doubt it's gonna be that successful. Most modern handsets are now capacitive. Heck, I think smartphone sales were driven by touchscreen based capacitive devices. Just my 2 cents!

resistive is so so old years doh.gif

Nokia 500 is using capactive touchscreen. wink.gif

who says no angry birds for this phone? shocking.gif

no gpu just unable u to play intensive 3D games. Whilst Angry Birds is 2D game, so angry birds is playable.

Nokia 500 is practically new that's why it wasn't on the list for now. But I'm sure later on, it will have.
