Nokia’s official blog confirmed this morning that the N97 mini will in fact be shipping this week, world wide. Alongside the N97 mini launch is an update to the N97’s software to revision 2.0. The N97 mini is seen by many as an attempt by Nokia to correct or iron out the bugs that shipped with the N97. Time will tell how well the mini will sell.

“The Nokia N97 mini brings with it a raft of new software features, alongside a diminutive stainless steel frame but still with all the things people love about its original bigger brother. [...] the N97 software [update] brings a host of optimisation tweaks, improving performance and battery life.”
