Yesterday, I was talking about a BIG Announcement from Nokia. And it has turned out that Nokia has come up with a N97 model. It was not even discussed before. I am convinced that Nokia has done a great job to hide this secret so well. So, what is N97. It is a mini computer as what Nokia spokesman had described. It uses the latest Symbian (5th Generation) OS and other innovations.
Hands On Video, Specification and Press Release after the break.
