The Nokia N97 Widget Competition is now live! You have until February 27th, 2009 to design a widget you want to appear on the Nokia N97. The winning widget designer will receive a Nokia N97 ahead of the public release, pre-installed with their homescreen widget. Of course, I already submitted mine!

I haven’t been this excited about a phone since the Nokia N95, so I’m really glad to have a chance to own a Nokia N97 before anyone else.

My widget design submission

The widget I designed is something that utilizes the Ping.fm service where I can update my Twitter, Jaiku, or Facebook statuses on the home screen of the Nokia N97 in just one post.

The widget contest gallery is not up at the time of publishing this post, but I’m sure it will be available once they get more submissions. Submit yours for a chance to win the Nokia N97 and good luck!
