Seems like our buddies over in the states are now getting some miniscule Nokia love in the form of the Nokia N97’s slightly smaller bro, the Nokia N97 Mini as the guys over at enagdget report that the Nokia N97 Mini smartphone is now shipping in the good ole US of A.

Word is stateside, the Nokia N97 Mini is shipping via both Amazon and Dell, with Dell offering the Nokia N97 Mini for a price tag of $430 after coupon discount while Amazon are offering the handset for $479.99 and both with free shipping.

The Nokia N97 Mini offers a 3.2 inch resistive touch screen, full QWERTY slide keyboard, handwriting recognition, 8GB storage with microSD expansion up to 16GB, WiFi, Bluetooth, 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics, geo-tagging, A-GPS, and Symbian operating system.

Size wise the Nokia N97 Mini comes in slightly smaller than the N97 and measures 7.3 x 7.7 x 2.2 inches with a weight of 1.2 pounds, so have you been holding out for the Nokia N97 Mini or do you prefer the N97?
