Nokia N97 mini ships

Nokia has finally started to ship the smaller version of its N97 smartphone known as the Nokia N97 mini (how apt). This model will retain the QWERTY keyboard of its larger sibling, angling out in the process although it comes with a smaller 3.2″ touchscren display now with 25% of internal memory compared to the massive 32GB on the vanilla N97. It will retail for roughly $664 in Europe after conversion, but at that price point the device is unlocked so you’re free to shack up with a carrier of your choice. It will ship with a new update that supportsflick scrolling, shortcuts on the personalized homescreen and access to e-mail via Nokia Messaging alongside Ovi Maps 3.1 with 3D maps.
