We have some great news for you, well those of you on Vodafone. They've just announced that the Nokia N97 will arrive in July, although they've not announced a price yet.

Vodafone are the first UK network to set an official release date, with the other manufacturers expected to follow suit. But these operator arrival dates have been known to be wrong in the past. Though this fits in well with the other release date rumors.

Take a look at the Vodafone Official site for more details. Here is what Vodafone have to say about the N97.

"Go straight to your web favourites from the Nokia N97's home screen - and enjoy superfast internet when you're browsing.

Up to 48GB of memory means you can take your whole world with you. And for great photos, there's the 5 megapixel camera with a sharp-shooting Carl Zeiss lens.

Load up your music, videos, pics and games on 32GB of built-in memory. Store even more by adding another 16GB - perfect for the DVD quality videos you'll shoot with your N97.

A fantastic 5 megapixel camera gives you pin-sharp pictures day or night. And they look amazing on the N97's crystal clear 3.5" touch screen. Slide out the QWERTY keyboard and you can add captions to your best shots before you put them online".

Mike, from Nokia Conversations has posted a Public Poll. The poll asks readers which of the N97's features they favor most. Some of the choices include QWERTY keyboard, widgets, 32GB storage, 3.5" touch screen and 5mp Camera. There are already over 400 votes, there's still time for you to vote, so headover to Nokia Conversations and make your vote now!

 

I was checking out the N97 earlier on Youtube. I found myself clicking from video to video, their related video's feature is a killer. An hour later, I was still glued to my screen, in a trance, dreaming of owning the N97. The quality of the video's varies a lot and lots of the stuff is just repeated, so I've picked out my favorite 10. There's still a lot I've not watched yet.

These video's are enough to tempt any tech junkie, the past hour has made me even more impatient.

A very happy Easter from all of us at N97 geeks. Here's an N97 video I've just stumbled across on youtube.

In this video, from Techiediva, Eliane Fiolet talks to Daniel Arroyo from Nokia about the upcoming Nokia N97.

The demo is almost 6 minutes long and mainly demo's the N97s, social media features as well as a glimpse of the video recording abilities.

I'm a big Facebook user, so was particularly excited to watch the Facebook demo. I love the idea of realtime updates on the homepage. The Facebook app looks just as functional as the iPhone version, which is particularly cool!

The video quality looks pretty good, and is apparently DVD quality. But the overhead light was reflecting too badly on the screen to be able to get a proper look, though I loved the fact it had full screen playback.
