I didn’t see this one coming.  Apparently, there is a mini Nokia N97 floating around out there some where.  It’s possible that the smaller touchscreen, QWERTY phone was conceived at the same time as the N97 and just didn’t make it to market.  But since the N97 is a bit on the large side for some users (me, myself included) it’s not beyond reason to think a smaller version sans D-pad could be released.  Or someone just had some Photoshop fun.

Aside from a missing directional pad, the mini N97, also named the N00, has less storage (8GB) and a smaller screen.

    The name is unlikely to be N00; that model number has appeared on lots of leaked Nokia prototypes in the past. Probably wiser to think of it as a placeholder :)

    I hold no blind loyalty to N97, nor did I to my 9210, 9300, or 9500.
    But while I have a N97 in my pocket I’ll remain true to the Brotherhood.

    My N97 is my best friend.

    My relationship is currently on hold while I accustom myself to everything that the N97 can offer me. So far, I haven’t put it down.

    I’m getting married in 7 days and hope to have grown up by then. If not, my N97 will be with me at the top table and I’ll mention him in my Wedding Speech.

    Love is such a fickle thing.
