Nokia officially announced the slimmed down version of their N97, the Mini N97.  The cut backs aren’t drastic as this version features a 3.2-inch versus a 3.5-inch touchscreen, lacks a d-pad and a slightly smaller footprint.  Nokia also says they’ve injected this version with “flick-scrolling”, which should mean iPhone like scrolling through web pages and applications.
