BANGALORE, INDIA: With N97, the latest flagship model of Nokia, the company is bringing a new user experience with touch screen feature that allows one to perform almost any mobile function.

So how would be the user experience on future generation of Nseries or any new series Nokia would come up with?

Says Axel Meyer, Head of Design, Nokia Nseries, "It's all about understanding the user behavior, culture and making mobile experience as user friendly as possible."

The Nseries design leader said that with N97, a headway has been made to bring new user experience by making use of multiple sensors.

"We can actually make the user experience more magical if we were to make the sensors understand more gestures and respond accordingly. We can certainly have handsets that understand human gestures in a better way in the near future,” Meyer adds.

According Meyer, developments were certainly moving in this direction. “But now I am not in a position to reveal anything further,” he quips.

N97 has incorporated leading technologies - including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection speeds - for people to share their 'social location'. The integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass makes Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understand where it is.
