Nokia World 09: How the N97 Mini breaks my heart

First day here at Nokia World 09, and it’s been quite an interesting past couple of hours.

While i’m still digesting the loads of information shoveled my way, along with finalizing coverage for both HWM and HardwareZone.com, I realized that somehow, large scale events like these always find a way to slap me in the face. Kick me in the nads. Throw a wet blanket over the fire. Break my heart. You get the idea.

Case in point? The Nokia N97 Mini. Why so? Part of the answer lies in the fact that i’m now using a Nokia N97. The full-sized one that comes with mode storage and a directional keypad. The picture below neatly illustrates the second part of the answer to the question.

On the left: a white Nokia N97 Mini. On the right: my personal Nokia N97. Almost 200MB of free phone memory on the Nokia N97 Mini, versus a smidge above 10MB on their slightly older (former) flagship device.

Damnit. Damnitdamnitdamnit. Why, Nokia, why do you do such things to me?

Anyone willing to trade a N97 Mini for my  used, but very well kept N97?
