Mobile-review.com have pictures and a preview of the upcoming N97 mini. The reviewer is not to keen on the keyboard. Curiously the screenshot suggets that the device has 280Mb of free RAM!
N97 Mini - Preview
I noticed this as well. Here's a list of (general, given people's response to the N97) pros/cons I can see with the N97 Mini:
Pros
- Arrows on right hand side like on a normal keyboard
- Done away with nav-pad on left hand side
- C: drive been made MUCH bigger
- Metal battery cover, better quality material
- No lens slider so the camera lens won't scratch itself...
Cons
- ...instead it'll be scratched by everything else
- 32Gb storage reduced to 8Gb (however, still takes microSD cards)
- Battery is much smaller so standby time much shorter?
- Screen 0.3" smaller (however, screen resolution probably still 640x360)
It also sports kinetic scrolling in the menus. However the reviewer says that this will be introduced in the N97's firmware around mid-September, which is a bonus!

C:\ is not RAM. Why do so many people get this wrong? See here for my rant
and i think the screen is 2.8"

the screen has been confirmed as 3.2inch about a hundred billion billion times now. why do people keep saying its 2.8inch?

Just to wind you up - it's a conspiracy doncha know...
280MB C drive! what a dream! wish they'd just amalgamate the 97 and the mini and come out with something proper!
