Nokia 6208c is inspired from the 6708, the first touchscreen phone with a built-in keypad. And now the handset has been displayed on the Chinese site of Nokia. It will sport Nokia’s S40 OS and it will have both the full alphanumeric keypad and a 2.4 inch touschreen display. We don’t know if it’s a capacitive or resistive screen but the stylus present will suggest it’s a resistive one.

Other specs include tri-band EGSM 900/1800/1900, Bluetooth 2.0, support for tethering, a 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and dual-LED flash and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone will be available in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, India, the Middle East and North Africa but the price hasn’t been revealed yet.

You might remember Optimus Pultius. He was the second cousin of Brutus son, of Caesar, Governer of Rome and the Eastern Empire. Not! Although it sounds roman, Optimus Pultius is a modern piece of technology. It’s the keypad you were always waiting for. It’s the keypad you would take on a deserted island with your two other things, the laptop and broadband connection.
