Nokia ships N97 Flagship Smartphone

Nokia today finally set a launch window for its N97 flagship smartphone. The company’s second-ever touchscreen device ships in June to 75 countries and should include a version with 3G support for North American carriers. It continues to have the same 3.5-inch 640x360 display, 32GB of built-in storage, 5-megapixel camera, GPS and Wi-Fi. The N97 is also Nokia’s first device with a customizable home screen with widgets for Facebook, news and weather.

The US release will for now only involve selling an unlocked but unsubsidized N97 for $699 that supports AT&T’s 3G services as well as 2G for both it and T-Mobile.
