Nokia N97 Mini, rumored to be announced next week at the Nokia World event, is pretty much confirmed with this official press photo leaked on begeek.fr. It is not too mini compare to the original Nokia N97 though, according to the source it is only slightly smaller with a similar hardware design.
mobile-review has also got the chance to review the Nokia N97 Mini prototype, stating a price difference of 100 euro compare to Nokia N97. Check out the review via the link for more live photos.
How are they different? Imagine someone armed himself with a hacksaw chopped around a centimeter off the original N97 – exactly the area occupied by the navigation key. The shortened lip gave this modification it’s current codename – “mini”. Same N97 on all fronts, but a bit smaller than the original. I’m curious what name they’ll use for the Nokia 5800i (with it being identical to the good old 5800, yet without WiFi connectivity); I suppose it’d make a lot of sense to call it “mini” as well, rather than waste a new index on a variation of the 5800.
