Well we told you Nokia was planning something big, and yeah, that’s what the Finnish giant had promised. On Tuesday, the company held its Nokia World ‘08 Conference in Barcelona, Spain and announced the ever lushes, very very gorgeous looking N97.  

The phone has been designed to be loved by all who set eyes on it (corny as that may sound). Nokia is calling it the “Facebook Phone”, and for a pretty rock solid reason too. The N97 is aimed at heavy duty social networking and multimedia, all while keeping the business user happy and well equipped.

Specs:

The phone has some pretty cool specs;

1.      3.5″, 640 x 360 resistive touch screen

2.      QWERTY keyboard

3.      Tri-band HSDPA 3G

4.      802.11 b/g WiFi

5.      A-GPS and Stand-alone GPS for directions and geo-tagging

6.      32GB Built-In Memory

7.      microSD expansion support for ADDITIONAL 16GB

8.      5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics

9.      Flash Lite 3.0 support and Flash Video in web browser

10.  Music player up to 36 hours playback time

11.  Share and Ovi services support

That’s everything but the kitchen sink. The phone may not be an iPhone Killer, it sure rocks the multimedia loving crowd. The camera takes an amazing 30 frames per second video. And probably the biggest wao factor is the Flash Support and Flash video. Then there’s that 32 GB of built-in memory so you can fit in a hefty part of your multimedia collection. Although Nokia doesn’t have the greatest market share in United States, the N97 will defiantly be a big hit in Europe.

The N97 will be released in the first half of 2009 and will go for €550, or approximately $695. Till then, enjoy the pictures and here’s a video.
