Nokia produced a nice wordless overview of the Nokia N97 mini. Like the N97, it does not have a U.S. carrier partner. So, most of us are unlikely to see any in the "wild" here in the U.S.

Its touch interface looks good. And, it certainly looks better than the haphazard touch interface on the HTC Touch Pro2. The 5 megapixel camera with a real glass lens with dual flash is probably a winner like other Nokia N series phones. The QWERTY keyboard? Hard to say without trying it.

It will be a non-starter in the U.S. Will Nokia ever figure out how to get in the good graces of U.S. carriers to get wider distribution for their high end smartphones?
