Another day, another rumor…NAM Nokia N97 out on June 2nd?

I honestly dislike reporting on rumors because it doesn’t bring any actual value to the content of this site and quite frankly I am not the “breaking news” type of blogger, but this one is pretty exciting.

According to several unverified sources, Nokia’s North American distributors are getting ready to ship out N97 on June 2. As many of you probably know, the phone has been available for pre-order since the first week of May but nobody expected it to have it shipped out this soon. This all makes sense since Nokia officials have strongly suggested that with the OVI store launch, there will be changes made to the distribution system to make it easy for consumers to purchase the latest handsets as soon as they become available.

Lets all just hope it is true ‘cuz we all could use some N97 love, no?

UPDATED: well, everything is shapping out as expected…Nokia has confirmed the June availability (no actual date) and has priced the phone at £499 SIM-free (or $699 USD). The N97 will be available in both black and white.
