Pardon me for this silly words but to be honest i just heard about this “mini” N97 and tried to get to know more about the story behind it on the Vodafone Ireland Forum. Currently the post related to the incident behind the Nokia N97 Mini was removed by Vodafone and the accused man of this issue just replaced by someone else as the new twitjokey in Twitter, poor guy.
But the truth will out. EngadgetMobile just posted pictures of this N97 Mini side by side with its bigger brother. So despite the incident happened on the forum, the real device could be there and soon we’ll know.
For those of you who haven’t heard about this incident, few weeks ago someone on the Vodafone Ireland forums who is a moderator and has the user name “Ev from Vodafone” posted this message:
Vodafone Ireland will not be launching the N97 but will be launching the N97 Mini later this year. Due to the N97 Mini’s competitive pricing, we feel that it will appeal to a wider segment of consumers.
Another operator has exclusivity on the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre so we are not able stock it.
I can say that we are going to Launch the N97 mini as mentioned above and the Storm 2 though.
But then the message was removed with the following statement:
Some information posted here yesterday has been removed. We are not in a position to discuss the N97 at this point. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will update you in due course.”
