Nokia just announced its new flagship device, the Nokia N97, and it sports a similar design to the TyTN II, also known as the Tilt on AT&T. The phone has the same slider and tilting concept with the screen and physical keyboard.

The N97 has pretty much a cropped VGA display to give the screen a 16:9 widescreen ratio, which will be nice for movie watchers, especially considering the device has 32 GB of on-board memory and a memory card slot to expand to another 32 GB of memory once those cards are released in the future (the maximum memory storage for micro SDHC is 16 GB right now).

Nokia boasts that this is the “world’s most advanced mobile computer.” According to Engadget Mobile: To back up the claim they’ve dropped in HSDPA, WiFi, and Bluetooth radios, A-GPS, a 3.5-mm headjack, 32GB of onboard memory with microSD expansion (for up to 48GB total capacity), and a battery capable of up to 1.5 days of continuous audio playback or 4.5-hours video. 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss glass and “DVD quality” video capture at 30fps, too. The specs are certainly impressive, let’s see if the S60 5th Edition OS can support it. The N97 will launch with a retail price set at around €550 ($693) excluding subsidies and taxes, phone to ship in H1 2009.
