The N97 Mini is no secret and in all probability we might see it being announced at Nokia World. But we have here the first detailed hands on impressions from Mobile Review.

The N97 Mini is a centimetre shorter (in closed position) which has been achieved by chucking out the irritating direction pad found on the N97′s keyboard. However, according to the reviewer, the keyboard hasn’t improved and might even be worse than the N97.

The only other differences being that it has 8 GB of internal memory and no camera shutter. And the price? Err, just about Euro 100 cheaper than the N97. Well the Mini ain’t that mini after all.

Well, we ain’t sure how this is going to help Nokia but we’d surely be interested to see if it is more stable than the N97. Head over to Mobile Review for more pics and screenshots.
