Great news for everyone. The release date of the Nokia N97 has been announced. It was announced by Phones4U as the 26th of June. This is very close to the date we earlier reported. Here is the extract:

Further to the now-official news we brought you that O2 is to offer the Nokia N97, although when is still to be confirmed, retailer Phones4U has become the first UK company to actually confirm a concrete launch date.

Although it’s still possible – and in fact likely – that someone else will nip in before, Phones4U has revealed it will be ranging the phone from 26 June, which also means that Nokia’s Ovi Store should be up and running by this date too, as the service is to be pre-installed on the N97.

There’s no Phones4U word on pricing, network information, or tariffs yet, but we’re one step closer to a clearer picture for this new flagship handset’s UK launch, and we’ll keep you posted as the nuggets of data filter through.
