I believe it not. Somehow I feel someone at some point has mistaken WebKit for Safari. WebKit being the core of both Safari and the S60 browser (as seen in FP1 and FP2 devices). We'll have to see, since the official PR has absolutely no mention of this. Or whether or not the camera has autofocus.

The N95 identifies itself as Safari because it uses webkit.

Ok, now it's confirmed. It's not true. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_l870_unveiled__... (see the bold paragraph at about the middle of the page).
Safari and the S60 Browser are two different things, mind. Yes they do use the same core. But they are developed separately beyond that point, by Apple and Nokia respectively.

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@patphelan if you standby, I'll need to phone Ewan and pass on y our message. I'm one of Ewan's 300-strong ghost Twitter writing team. ;-)

@_netromworld_ that's a difficult choice... the iPhone 3GS is still a total delight to use -- and the camera is much, much improved...

@ilana could be good research for the next book though

@patphelan Ewan says hello

@nokiamobiletalk I had one for about a year -- still have it somewhere -- reliable if a little slow at times, good battery

@carlmartin wouldn't it be interesting if that arse was reading your tweets whilst sat opposite you? ;-)

@bensmithuk d'ya reckon folk are more likely to type in 'mobile industry review' into google? Rather than put the URL on it?
