I guess the video of the supposed N97 we showed you today is real, as Nokia has announced the simultaneous June launch of its flagship handset in over 75 countries. The US and Western Europe are the most likely regions, but there was no official word on that.

We don't know if it's the real Nokia N97, as the handset is yet to be released, and we can't understand a thing this guy says (good if you know French). Plus the quality of video is bad. It may be just be a fake...

Anyway, you be the judge:

Vodafone will be the exclusive carrier to launch the new Nokia 6730 classic, S60-based smartphone, which should be available sometime this month. The handset is completely customized to fully support Vodafone services, and has the following features:

Specifications:

• 2.2" QVGA screen;
• 3.2Mpix camera;
• GPS receiver;
• Quad-band GSM;
• Dual-band HSPA;
• 1050 mAH battery;
• 50MB of internal memory;
• microSD cards;
• Symbian S60 3.

Nokia's flagship N97 has appeared at Amazon with a label "in stock on June 25". That's really nice to know, as this means the phone is just under a month away. However, if you happen to live in New York or Chicago look it up in the company's flagship stores around that date.

Amazon will sell the N97 for $603.99.

More news from AT&T: Nokia also has several new phones to be released on the carrier's network in the coming months. They are:

• Side-sliding QWERTY keyboard;
• S60 3.2 platform;
• Dual-band HSDPA;
• 2.4" QVGA display;
• AGPS;
• 2Mpix camera;
• Video Share;
• 28MB of internal storage with microSD expansion;
• 2.

What can make your phone look luxurious and glamourous better than diamonds? Yes, nothing. And Continental Mobiles know that. Currently they are selling a custom version of the popular Nokia E71 smartphone all covered with a large amount of VS1 quality diamonds. And you guessed it: the phone goes for an unaffordable price of £5,999 ($9,546)... What a shame.

Nokia has introduced it's new 6600i Slide, one of the company's smallest 5Mpix slider handset to date. It will be available in the Q3 in selected markets at a price of EUR 200 excluding taxes and subsidies. The retail package will also include a 1GB micro SD card and the Nokia stereo headset WH-203 with FM radio.

The Nokia's popular N79 and N85 smartphones have been blessed with a more than decent firmware update. Verison 20.175 includes a multitude of bug fixes, and also adds turning controls for performing actions simply by turning your handset over and email notifications on the home screen.

The update is available OTA, so you can get it immediately.

Nokia Blog reported basing on a reliable source that on June 2nd the company will be bringing the N97 to North America. The handset will be selling for $699, although the price might be lowered. We've heard such rumors before, so it should be true.

Nokia's popular 5800 XpressMusic has been recently released in the UK via Orange. It comes in a choice of black and silver colors and is available at some affordable price plans that start from £25 monthly. Currently you won't be able to get it in the UK from any carrier other than Orange.
