We first got word of the Nokia N97 back in early December of last year. Now according to some rumor, speculation and sources the smartphone will ship early June in the US. Although the ship date is said to be specifically June 2nd, I have my doubts since Expansys says the phone won’t be available to the UK crowd until June 26th, and they’ve historically received these types of handsets before the US.  Expect the phone to cost about $700.

In case you forgot the Nokia N97 sports a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 32GB of flash memory, microSD card slot, aGPS, 5MP camera with dual LED flash, HDSPA, WiFi, USB 2.0 and Blueooth.
