Last week, we got our first look at the possible Nokia N97 Mini. Well, now it looks like it's a real device and Nokia will officially announce it at Nokia World 2009, which will take place in Stuttgart on September 2 - 3. The good thing is that today, we have the specs on this baby. The Nokia N97 Mini is basically a smaller replica of the original N97, so the specs really haven't change. The only spec changes here is the smaller 2.9-inch display and the on-board storage space, it's been reduced to 8 / 16GB. The point of this new N97 Mini is to make it more portable and, of course, to shrink the large price tag of the original model. It's expected to launch about €100 ($144 USD) cheaper than it's larger sibling. We don't know when it will launch, but it'll be sometime after September 3.
