Nokia N97 pre-orders shipping soon, support pages go live
June — now officially dubbed the month of the mobile — is almost upon us and among the myriad of exciting new handsets that will debut or at least become official this month is the Nokia N97. Our Finnish friends have high hopes for this pricey little piece of kit, which will be Nokia’s first Nseries to sport a touchscreen along with the S60 5th Edition OS. As for the NAM edition, it’s now looking like that rumor of pre-orders shipping in early June might just pan out — we’ve received a few tips from people who have pre-ordered the handset from Amazon and they’ve apparently received emails stating the handset will ship the week of June 15th. It stands to reason of course, that units will begin shipping directly Nokia before then or at least by that week. Does that mean we could actually see the handset released in the US before Europe? Well, our Euro pals, at least you can enjoy Nokia’s newly-posted N97 support pages while you continue to wait for orders to be filled.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
I pre-ordered my N97 from Dell and the order confirmation lists an “estimated” delivery date of June 19. Clearly, that estimated caveat makes a precise date somewhat fluid, but it would seem to indicate that they will be shipping in mid to late June.
Ok, Let’s get this party started already.
CANADA WANTS YOU !!!!!!
“little piece of kit”
-haha is this a good thing? i’ve never heard it before… it’s remarkably similiar to another phrase.
Estimated price? It’s probably this or the E71i for me
My estimated shipping confirmation from amazon was the first week in June
I’ve preordered mine on amazon and email confirmation said that they will ship it on week of june 11
Support page launch and actual device launch is separated by about a month. The N85’s support pages went live October 2nd and the device launched in the UK on Halloween. Late June is about right.
No mention of support for Apple’s iSync on their support pages yet. A major stumbling block that has to be cleared with me before I get one.
Can’t wait for this phone to come out in the US. Great support site and user manual.
