Next generation of 5800 XpressMusic?

Hi,

I am about to buy a new phone and is looking at the 5800 XpressMusic, but was wondering if there is a newer model on its way which will replace this (it is about a year old now, so it is a bit old).

It will need to have the same specs as the 5800 (GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Touch, 3G, Video Calling etc), but it could be nice to get a phone with second generation touch interface.

Anybody got any ideas of waht is comming up?

You might want to look at the N97 Mini that is forthcoming. It is essentially the 5800 with a slide-out keyboard and I believe it will have a lot of improvements to the UI/UX. There is also the X6 which is impressive, but probably further off and takes away the memory expansion slot I think.
