Vodafone to carry unannounced Nokia “N97 Mini”, BlackBerry Storm 2; no Palm Pre

According to a post from likely soon-to-be-ex-Vodafone forum moderator Ev from Vodafone, Vodafone Ireland has a few tasty morsels baking in the oven. First and foremost, the mod claims Voda will not be picking up the new Nokia N97 due to the high price point of the handset. Instead, the carrier will pick up the unannounced “N97 Mini” considering the device’s “competitive pricing”. Ev also states that Vodafone will offer the BlackBerry Storm 2 later this year, a foregone conclusion. Last but not least, the big mouthed mod suggests that due to exclusivity with a competitor, Vodafone will not be offering the Palm Pre. All of this falls into the rumor category for the time being of course, but it’s pretty interesting none the less. Will Ev elaborate? Will (s)he be gagged and locked in a basement? Keep your eye on the read link to find out.

    Oh hai, the O2 exclusivity on Palm Pre is a done deal, at least for the Guardian, since May: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/may/24/02-iphone-palm-pre

    So the ONLY surprise here is the “N97 mini”…

    Oh wow that’s some interesting stuff to know. N97 is like the Bugatti Veyron of cars. It wouldn’t be affordable to hardly anyone.

    As for the pre, I still haven’t seen what’s OMFG about it.

    @ Adam.

    Holy shit you’re cool. You wrote first and you really were first! Fuck, you’re cool. I wonder – what is it you do for a living? Must be something really important to have such imagination and skill.

    Storm 2. I wonder if it’ll be a marked improvement over the first. I don’t suppose ATT will ever get a Storm so long as they have iPhone exclusivity.

    Sorry. It’s defaulted in there because of my clients. They really do care and need to know. So do the judges, opposing counsel, etc.

    But your point is well-taken. So I apologize in advance if it seems over the top or self-serving. But I think I’ll leave it. If you knew me, you’d know I’m a pretty laid back guy with a modest practice, modest income, and beautiful autistic son.
    Sorry to offend.

    This time, without the fanfare,

    CH.

    Out of curiosity, what do you do?

    Ben – The Nokia N97 isn’t a car. I think you meant to say: “N97 is like the Bugatti Veyron of phones.”

    Besides it isn’t, because the Veyron is a magnificant feat of engineering – whereas the N97 is a large storage device with a low grade CPU.
