Nokia N97 to be launched on June 2nd

May 18th, 2009

The Nokia N97 is soon going to be launched around june 2nd. 

The June launch is something we’ve been hearing quite often, but the hype surrounding this device has greatly decreased, since all major websites started criticizing the handset’s CPU.
