Rumor: Nokia N97 NAM to launch June 2
As if the first week of June wasn't packed enough with potential smartphone announcements, here's another one to throw into the mix. According to The Nokia Blog, the North American version (NAM) of the Nokia N97 will ship on June 2.
The Nokia Blog reported on this after it learned that the Finnish cell phone manufacturer contacted one of its North American distributors with the date. The N97 is available for preorder now from Nokia's Web site for $699. If you order now, Nokia will also throw in a free Nokia Bluetooth headset with your purchase.

It's funny how people were complaining
About the first iPhone as overpriced when it first released
But nokia's new phones were always expensive and overpriced
Especially for war they offer
I don't know about the n97
But the 5800 is unusable pos with a crappy browser
Horrible unresponsive touch screen along with crappy input keyboard
For Nokia's sake they better learn to concentrate more on user experience
Than packing uneeded features
all unlocked smartphones are pricy even iPhone is, what is your point here?
Without a contract its 600$ and the N97 gives u a full keyboard, better camera, multi tasking, flash web browser and a whole host of other things that the iphone cannot...so who is getting ripped off?
The 5800 is a budget phone....compare apples to apples. N97 is a better deal than the iphone esp since with a contract (in europe) for instance its FREE or very heavily subsidized.
Know what your saying before you open your mouth.
