Diaries of a Nokia Fan Boy

So Nokia finally released the official spec’s to the N97 Mini. Since I’ve covered the phone a couple times already I’ll just say what I’m thinking:

First of all, the phone sports a Quad-band HSDPA!! I’m pretty sure that’s a first somewhere along the lines, and even if it isn’t, its still damn impressive. The screen is smaller, sure, at 3.2″ you won’t be able to see things as clearly, but the phone itself is nicely smaller, with dimensions of 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm and a weight of 138g, the phone should make the original N97 feel like a beast. And finally, the phone sports a smaller battery at 1200mAh, which is a down-side, but not an overly large one. The phone still sports decent talk and standby times. The biggest downfall, however, is the price: 450 Euro (or $710 CAD). Especially considering that I can pick up the full sized N97 for less than that. Lets just hope the price falls quickly and more people can afford it.

So would I pick up the phone? I might, if the price was more reasonable, but its certainly going to give the original N97 a run for its money. Wait… is that a good thing?
