Nokia allowed us to play with the N97 Mini and the N900 today while announcing the launch of the N97 Mini in India. The N97 mini is impressive with the design and sleek look but the pricing isn’t known to us yet. We played with both devices for a few minutes and by far the N900 had us excited for most of those seconds (and its not even launching here anytime soon). The browser on the N900 was something I was looking to explore but it didn’t look like a Mobile Safari killer and I managed to hang it aswell while switching between windows / tabs 
I also put the question of the weirdly placed spacebar (on the right) on the N97, 97 mini and the N900 to Mr. Jonne Harju, Senior Design Manager, Nokia Design Studio and her revealed that Nokia’s study indicated that its much more comfortable / efficient to have the left thumb pressing the spacebar. Comparing the N97 Mini and the N900, the keyboard on the N900 is far more comfortable. The tiny keys on the N97 mini restricted my speed on the qwerty significantly.
The sad part is that the N97 mini would (more…)

The rumors for this handset have been around, but the leaked pics takes our excitement to another level. Here are the pics of the rumored Nokia N97 mini with its elder brother the N97. Rumor has it that the N97 mini is in the making and will be slightly degraded than the N97. The mini might be missing out on GPS, would have a degraded camera, and might miss out the 3G too along with a smaller battery with less talktime.
Another pic shown downward also shows the camera cover missing. While some believe that the pic is of a fake Nokia N97 dubbed the NOKLA N97. We believe if Nokia really comes up with the N97 mini with 3G and a decent camera, it would definitely be a good catch for those who love N97 but missed out the deal on price. Considering a cheaper version of Nokia 5800, the 5800i also made an appearance recently, this might well be true.

The smartphone boom is about to see some intense war with all the biggies about to be revealed over the next few months. Nokia has the first S60 5th edition N97 with the Ovi store lined up against the Palm Pre, Samsung Android i7500, iPhone 3.0 and others (WM 6.5 etc).
Rumors suggest that Palm Pre might well sell for $150 in US (with contract of course) and we just heard N97 is being offered in the range of $793 – $980. Thats real high pricing, we really feel that Sony Ericsson didn’t see any great sales with the P1i and Xperia X1 only due to very high pricing initially. The market looks nicely poised for a nice showdown in the coming months. We are excited!…

Expected to come in first half of 2009, this is a 3.5″ Touchscreen with a QWERTY – Looks like a addition to the communicator series. More details as it comes…
From the image we can make out some obvious things, the display is a slide up and rolls over the Qwerty. Also the 5 way navigational joystick is on the left now. The front looks is much like the Sony Ericsson Xperia.
