All the reviews and specs that I have seen state that it does have a FM transmitter.

Just noticed that the original link to play has been changed.

Play are not giving a price or a release date anymore and the pre-order has gone.

Humm, yeah that`s weird, all the sites i use to see the n97 specs on (Mostly norwegian sites) it`s not mentioned... Thank you annyways, the phone just raised even more in value for me then :)

From what I've been told, it will be a matter of "weeks" not months, as usual.

Also- yes, as it stands now (these things can be changed, obviously) there is an FM transmitter.

Interesting that Play have pulled their original listing / price and replaced it with:

"Coming soon

This item is not currently available to order. Enter your email address, click the ‘Notify me’ button and we’ll let you know as soon as it becomes available to pre-order."

Does this meain the anticipated price was wrong and the handset will be much more as we all thought on release I wonder?

Or maybe they got bollocked by Nokia and had to shut up lol about price and date of release.

I am using a 5800 Express Music but I can't wait for an N97. Though I understand that comparison with an I-phone is inevitable, Nokia has without a doubt made everything bigger and better - the memory, camera, music!
Will the sound be as good as an I-phone's though, is a doubt which many would have I guess!
Quite a big majority on my blog tell me that they would love to try an N97 anyday, some of them being 'loyal' Apple users too. Some of the features are new and unique, luring enough to make anyone switch to a Nokia.

I gotta be honest here, after falling in love with the 5800 and being pleasantly surprised by it, part of me hopes the same will happen with the N97.

After watching the video of the N97 designer playing with it I am more interested in it.

It looks smaller in hand then I thought.

My main concern still remains with the QWERTY keyboard and battery life in general.

But I wouldn't be at all surprised if come release I either sell both my N85 and 5800 to fund purchase of an N97 or I just get one as well as those two!
