I don't think its any better than the 'big' one. Smaller internal memory, lower capacity battery. They removed the camera lens cover though, could be to fix that? I dunno. It doesn't make any sense to me for them to release the mini so quickly after the N97.

i know.. it's so stupid, i found out about a week ago on gsmarena.. they are planning to release it in oct.

i do find that the keypad is better because of the placement of the arrows, etc

Anybody using the N97 on their corporate e-mail over Mail on Exchange? If so, please share your experiences. Thanks!

Rather extensively for me. 2+ hours of HSPA use, some camera, some videos and no music. A little bit of talk and text, continuous email over IMAP and contacts/calendar over Exchange.

Oh, also, where is the N97 made? I'm assuming Finland or USA?

No idea on the U.S. CC thing.

Doesn't matter where the phone is made, if they're not "Made in China"/"Made by Nokia" they're assembled in China. Same difference.

Newer batches of the N97 have an improved camera lens cover that doesn't scratch your lens haha

what's so special about Costco USA? price?
It's $599 in Costco USA but $579 in newegg.com or $649 at newegg.ca free shipping (custom extra).

^ no worry. you can talk to live support for price adjustment if you haven't receive it yet.
I ordered a Archos 60GB from them. 3 days after I got it, it dropped $10. I got my $10 back after talking to the on-line live support.

Just ordered my n97. Can't wait.
Upgrading from my shitty iphone, been awhile since i got a good phone.
A bit late into the n97 with the n900 coming out soon though.
