Following a realistic, official looking leaked image, Nokia has unveiled the a-bit-smaller-version of the N97… the N97 Mini.

The Nokia N97 Mini features a 3.2-inch screen (down from 3.5-inches), 8GB internal storage (down from 32GB), smaller battery capacity at 1200mAh (down from 1500mAh) and is essentially every bit the same as the currently available N97 except for the following:

• slight change in dimensions
• ditching the directional pad from the slide-out keys
• slight rearrangement of the keys
• pre-installed Lifecasting with Ovi software, which is partnered with the largest social network in the world, Facebook

The Nokia N97 Mini will be available at select markets starting October for €450 or $639 USD.

The Nokia N97 Mini is really not that much smaller than its older brother, the N97. It’s just roughly shorter by 4mm (height), 3mm (width) and 2mm (depth).
