Nokia N97 Release Date Revealed By Play.com…Again

Not content with getting our pulses racing with a March Nokia N97 release date earlier in the year, Play.com are revealing their hand again with a pre-order date of June 23rd 2009.

Obviously, we can no longer take it as gospel, as their March date caused so much heat in the blogosphere that it got pulled, but it surely ties in with the Q2/June N97 release window that was confirmed at Mobile World Congress.

One sticking point…the price. £649.99. We know that it has 32GB of memory, has a 5 megapixel Carl-Zeiss lens and the newest and slickest Nokia interface…but £649.99?

There is no way that people will part with almost £700 for a mobile phone whilst the fabric of our economy unravels around us. I think that’ll be the most anyone could possibly charge, despite it being a cutting-edge (if flakey at present) piece of hardware.

Oh.
