Nokia N97 Mini to launch today ..?

06cbe_nokia-n97-n97-mini-rumorIs it possible that the Nokia N97 Mini will be launched today? It’s a real possibility, as Nokia has already announced the Nokia Booklet 3G and Nokia N900 Maemo this week (not forgetting the Nokia 5230), so we could be ripe for another great day. Join us after the break to find out why we think the Nokia N97 Mini could launch today…

A moderator on the Vodafone forums said the carrier would not be getting the touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard wielding N97, but would instead be launching the N97 Mini later this year, due to its "competitive pricing". No additional info was revealed about the handset and the comment has since been edited, along with users replies.

The Nokia N97 Mini could be on its way today, at least we hope it is. After all, Nokia seems to have ramped up expectation about Nokia World 2009 to fever pitch this week by announcing three new products – the Nokia Booklet 3G, the Nokia 5230 and last but not least the Nokia N900 Maemo tablet.
We’re thinking the Nokia N97 Mini may well follow suit, largely because the same French site, BeGeek, who managed to get its hands on the official image of the Nokia N900 ahead of schedule, also managed the same trick with the official Nokia N97 Mini image is.

The Nokia Booklet 3G mini-laptop has been announced ahead of Nokia World 2009 and we’re all pretty excited about getting our hands on what looks like a super-stylish and always connected super-netbook. If you’ve already seen out image gallery, of the Nokia Booklet 3G, then you need to check out the video and be stunned at what’s coming down the pipe later this year…

The Nokia Booklet 3G looks pretty amazing. The design is definitely something that mixes easy of use with style and grace. If you want to see what this 10-inch mini-laptop looks like in the flesh, then check out the video below and see for yourself.The Nokia Booklet 3G mixes everything we want from a Nokia mini-laptop, combining a HD Ready screen, a near full-size keyboard and all of our favourite Nokia Ovi apps pre-installed. Nokia is claiming the Nokia Booklet 3G will last 12 hours at a go from the battery, which is simply amazing and means you’ll be able to surf and stay in touch longer than just about any other mini-laptop out there.

We’ll get the full lowdown on the Nokia Booklet 3G at Nokia World 2009.

n900 closedNokia has announced the Nokia N900, a Maemo 5-powered device. Maemo 5 is the evolution of Nokia's previous generation of Internet Tablets and aims to occupy the space created by the convergence of mobile phones, laptops and the Internet. The N900 features a horizontal slider design with a three line QWERTY keyboard, a 3.5 inch WVGA (800 x 600) touch screen, ARM Cortex-A8 600 MHz processor with 256MB of RAM (and 768MB of virtual memory), 5.0 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, tri-band WCDMA and WiFi connectivity, integrated A-GPS, 3.5 mm AV jack (audio and TV-out), and 32GB of flash storage and a microSD card slot. The N900 will be available in select markets from October 2009 at a cost of €500 before taxes and subsidies.

“With Linux software, Mozilla-based browser technology and now also with cellular connectivity, the Nokia N900 delivers a powerful mobile experience,” says Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Markets, Nokia. “The Nokia N900 shows where we are going with Maemo and we’ll continue to work with the community to push the software forward. What we have with Maemo is something that is fusing the power of the computer, the internet and the mobile phone, and it is great to see that it is evolving in exciting ways.”

In the press release, Nokia notes that Maemo is 'designed for computer-grade performance in a compact size, Maemo complements Nokia's other software platforms, such as Symbian, which powers Nokia's smartphones'. Clearly there's going to be much comment on Nokia's choice of Maemo as the platform to open up an evolving market segment. Essentially though, it is a reflection of the fact that as Nokia expands and diversifies its device portfolio, it becomes necessary to deploy multiple platforms. We'll be looking at this in more detail in the next few days.

Key features of the phone

Hardware:

  • ARM Cortex-A8 600MHz processor with up to 1GB of application memory (256MB RAM and 768MB of virtual memory).
  • 3.5 inch widescreen, 800 x 480 pixels resolution, resistive touch.
  • Dimensions of 110.9 x 59.8 x 18mm (19.5mm at camera), weight of 181g. This is shorter, but wider, thicker and heavier than the N97 (117 x 55.3 x 15.9mm at 150g). It's significantly smaller than the N810 (72 x 128 x 14mm at 226g), the previous Maemo device.
  • Horziontal slider form factor with 3 line QWERTY keyboard on the lower slide and integrated (around the camera) device 'kick' stand.
  • WiFi (b/g) (includes UPnP support) and HSDPA connectivity (triband WCDMA 900/1700/2100 and quadband GSM). The 1700 band is for T-Mobile USA (which suggests the N900 is headed for a carrier in the US to go up against Palm Pre (Sprint) and iPhone (AT&T).

    To be clear - this is a phone, in contrast to previous Maemo devices which had no cellular telephony functions. However, in contrast to Nokia's Symbian smartphones, it might be considered a mobile computing device first, then a phone.
  • 5 megapixel main camera (2.8 aperture, 5.2 focal length, dual LED flash and video light), with Carl Zeiss Tessar optics, video capture at WVGA (800 x 480) at up to 25 frames per second. Camera supports geotagging, tagging with keyword and ability to share to Ovi and Flickr.
