Poor Mans N97 on the way
| Quote: | | The nokia N97 hasn’t be out that long yet there has been lots of talk of a new version that is smaller and to fix the lens cover in place so won’t move so it can’t scratch the lens. The origins come from an Irish vodafone forum which is where I had my doubts because I spent most of my life in Ireland and they are in no way the capital of new phones in fact its more of the place to go if you want three year old new phone. However now it appears that pictures have been leaked that show the extent of the difference’s. There is no official comment from nokia about the name of this phone and its spec but a there is a bit of speculation about this phone and many people are saying it only has 3.2mp camera and stuff like that but none of this is confirmed. There is a chance that these images are fake but its highly unlikely due to the detail so we could have a new N97 soon, as far as a name some people have called it the “poor mans N97” or”mini N97″ or my favorite “n97″. This is the Nokia N97 mini. These images came from engadget so if it does turn out fake then blame them but I’m really looking forward to this version. |

no it's legit.
They removing the d pad, reducing the size and specs and selling it as a middle class phone....something the original n97 should have been marketed and priced at in the first place. |

rumour has it that the phone will lack Ngage support, have a 3mp camera, smaller HD, or maybe no HD at all.
I love my N97, this phone is WIN.
The mini N97 is going to be nokias solution to tap into the Apple iphone market share. Having more than one SKU seems to be a trend.
Im all for it though. Seeing that most reviewers (especially the apple cocksuckerz) want to mark down the phone because its price. |

I hated apple before the 3gs (still don't like it that much because it can't multitask)
But in all seriousness I agree the n97 is overpriced. Compare it to the 5800..You paying US$300 extra for a qwerty, slightly bigger screen and 32 gigs internal memory.
That's about it... |

Touch is a little better on the n97.
Both are way behind apple in terms of touch though.
yeah d widgets are cool, but because of them, the n97 only has 42 MB of spare RAM after bootup. |

Raptizzle has full body protection for like 200 i think
but you only really need top protection imho. The full body is kind of overkill seeing that the back is black matt |
