Last month we got heard a wave of rumors about a N97 Mini (or Mini N97) from Vodafone staff, who accidentally blurted out about the N97 Mini before Nokia had the chance too. Now though, it looks like things have got a little more interesting in this saga as Engadget recently received some pictures of the Mini next to it’s big brother….hmmmm.
Now to the facts about the mini that we know. Looking at the picture, the N97 Mini is slightly smaller and slimmer than the N97, but that about it as everything else seems to be in shape except on the back where the mini has lost the lens cover which it’s big brother has. Spec differences remain to be seen but this phone actually interests me quite a lot, but for this to earn a place in Nokia’s line up it will have to have a high spec and some changes, especially coming about so soon after the N97 launch.
So real or fake? I’d say there’s certainly a chance that the pictures are real, because for this to be fake, it would take an extremely talented photoshop whizz or something of that caliber. So for now, this rumor can go into the “quite possible” pile.

Although the iPhone3G S is a very smart phone, it not intelligent enough to compete against the Nokia N97 Mini.
