Nokia World 2009 just kicked off over in Stuttgart, and while the outfit’s CEO didn’t have much to say outside of a few nice teases, Mr. Anssi Vanjok did the honors of officially unveiling the N97 mini. Of course, we’ve already seen this not-so-minuscule handset previewed over in the wilds of Russia, but it’s certainly nice to have Nokia’s formal seal of approval on the device. Nokia’s pushing the mobile’s social networking capabilities, not to mention calling it the world’s “slimmest travel companion” thanks to the built-in Lonely Planet guidebooks. As for price? Try €450 ($639), but Sir Anssi asserted that the phone should be available for free on contract in “many, many markets.” As for specs, we’re looking at a tilting 3.2-inch touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard, with the first shipments starting in October.
