Nokia’s N97 is hardly news nowadays – the critter was photographed, handled and videoed multiple times at various tradeshows. All we still miss is the price and release date…which has just been announced by the Irish branch of Expansys:
The price of 844 Euros translates to insane 1063 US Dollars. However, keep in mind that this is Expansys…which means that a 30% “early adopters penalty” is probably included above the regular list price.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING $1,064.00+ USD for the N97??? I wanted one, but I was willing to pay $700USD for it, but an additional $350+USD.. I don’t think so! Nokia is good but who is the carrier? What are the perks? WHAT DO I GET FOR MY MONEY???

Hi Ronald,
I fully agree – but think that the price we see above is escalated by far for two reasons:
a) this is an unlocked device
b) Expansys

i agree, i was looking forward to the n97 also, but at $1063US… thats almost $1400canadian and i dont think there will be too many people lining up to buy it if it was that price especially during a recession… so my guess is the real price will be ALOT less. I also read something from NokNok that this price was shown to a nokia rep and his reply was that “this price is outrageous”, hopefully meaning that the real price will be alot less.
Hi Kevin,
this is an Expansys price(!!!).
These boys are known to milk early adopters mercilessly…
