We got the briefest of N920 mentions the other day courtesy of Mobile-review, and now we’re supposedly looking at it, in all its touchscreen-only glory. The wild news here is that supposedly has a 4.13-inch capacitive touchscreen, which is a good and bad thing: good because capacitive will undoubtedly make touchscreen typing more feasible, bad [...]
