Nokia N97 For North America Arriving June 2nd

May 17th, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

I told you a couple days ago the Nokia N97 NAM was coming soon, but I wasn’t sure of the exact date. Well, Nokia just notified one of their major North American distributors of the estimated shipping date: June 2nd, 2009! How accurate are we? We were spot-on with the Nokia 5800 NAM’s release date! I’m not sure what this means for the release date in other parts of the world.

Nokia n97 June 2nd

Like I mentioned previously, you can expect many of the U.S. retailers to sell the Nokia N97 NAM for around $600 even if the suggested price is $699. I’m hoping those who pre-ordered the Nokia N97 already will get theirs right away. As you may recall, customers who pre-ordered the Nokia 5800 NAM from nokiausa.com did not get theirs until a month after the other retailers like Amazon and Dell. Update: The Nokia N97 pre-order at Amazon is now $604.

    Thank you! I love the Nokia Blog. I HOPE I don't have to wait a month after those retailers get it. Dying to get my hands on one so I might just buy early and sell my pre-ordered one.

    I´d like to know if is it possible to buy the N97 (unlocked) in the USA and use its here in Brazil? I think that other people are in the same situation, because there are few countries that will buy this phone, until now.
    Could anyone help me?

    Yes, Nokia, get your phones into the hands of your early-adopters/influencers first.

  17. Al Pavangkanan on 18 May 2009:

    I believe Brazil uses 850 and 2100 for 3G. You should be good to go.

  18. Edward Umana on 18 May 2009:

    I think that that this time NokiaUSA customers will get it first since the official nseries blog said the N97 would be shipping from the production line:

  23. Nate on 20 May 2009:

    “Pre-ordering will guarantee you are one of the first to receive the new N97. It will be shipped direct to your door from the production line so you’ll have it the same day it hits the stores in your country.”

    -Lets HOPE this is true.

  24. johnny on 22 May 2009:

    just to let you guys kno i just called amazon and they already have it and sold out and expected to get more.

  25. Mark Guim on 22 May 2009:

    Thanks for the info!

  27. David Castro on 27 May 2009:

    check amazon.com they have it but they say they will stock it until june 25!!
    the waiting will be looong, I hope Nokia releases it before that!

  28. broadwing on 29 May 2009:

    I received *another* confirmation email from Nokia this morning. No real status change on the order, but that's odd. maybe they're getting ready to ship next week?

  29. jason on 2 June 2009:

    Wait for it….

    (hoping you guys are right on the number – waiting for some news of shipping today… of course, now i'm neurotic and can't get any work done… :) )

  30. roger on 2 June 2009:

    I thought that just happened to me.

  31. zorro on 3 June 2009:

    Still waiting for mine… – I am in Dallas, TX

  32. Puffer on 3 June 2009:

    It's now June 3rd. I preordered from Nokia.com and I thought those phones were shipping out the 2nd. I'm going neurotic like a previous poster, checking my bank account and email for confirmation. C'mon Nokia, ship this phone alreaady!

  33. jason on 4 June 2009:

    Looks like we're getting closer : http://nseries.createsend3.com/T/ViewEmail/r/6C...

    From the N97 Member “Club” (email marketing, and apparently some useful info)

    “Exclusive news just in for the Nokia N97 Members Club: the Nokia Nseries flagship will start shipping to stores worldwide from this week! Keep an eye out for more online updates about when the devices will be available for purchase in your country.

    Those members who have pre-ordered their new handsets will be one of the first in their country to receive the new Nokia N97. Expect an email from the online store shortly with delivery dates.”

  34. Puffer on 4 June 2009:

    I just got off the phone with Nokia and told them I had pre-ordered and was part of the “Nokia Members Club” and wanted to know why the phone hasn't shipped if it said June 2nd when I first pre-orded. The rep told me the are in fact not going out until the first week of July. I am so livid right now that I'm canceling my order. 7 months for a phone? Forget it. Nokia has just lost another fan. Or I could just try and cool off and try to think this out rationally…

  35. Puffer on 4 June 2009:

    … or he could just not know anything but I spoke to the rep from the shipping department. Can any shed more light?

  36. jason r. totten on 4 June 2009:

    I think you may have spoken with a bad rep… :/

  37. PH3N0M on 4 June 2009:

    I ordered from amazon and i got an email saying estimate delivery between june 17 to june 29.

  38. zorro on 5 June 2009:

    Hi Puffer, FYI – i tried to cancel my order over the phone. After escalating to a 'manager' evidently, Nokia's policy is not to honor order cancellations for pre-ordered equipment…the only recourse is to not accept the package when it actually ships, then they will refund your money. I did not cancelled my order. I am hopeful Nokia will do the right thing and ship soon, hoping that I will get my phone before the people who ordered from Amazon!!!

  39. jeff on 5 June 2009:

    I know everybody is going crazy waitng for their n97 to show up I am too just saw some thing interesting though my banks fraud department just called to let me know the their was a large transaction trying to go through from nokia of course nokia is in denial saying that they were putting the funds back on holdbecause it been so long I told the agent that it was B S I also bet the agent that they could not name 75 countries that were going to release the n97 without naming the US of course he said that he could I really think the phone is now on the way it has to be a bunch of BS they are promising the phone before the other retailers yet they are saying first week in july and amazon is saying june 25th as far as not being able to cancel a preorder that is correct I have expereinced the same thing and I took it all the way to management as well I am a new nokia user as a matter of fact this will be my first nokia phone if they pull a stunt just as I have heard them do with the 5800 Iwill never even know what it is to even own a nokia phone cause I will be turning down the package as soon as it comes

  40. jason r. totten on 8 June 2009:

    i've got my fingers crossed – i have a $100 unlisted pending draw on my account, hoping that becomes the full price by morning with the N97s hitting Chicago and NY tomorrow… we'll see.

  41. jason r. totten on 8 June 2009:

    says nevermind – i think i know what it is (sobs quietly to self) … oh well. hopefully UPS will hold it for me while i'm gone…
