We’ve been seeing a fair bit of the unannounced N97 Mini lately, and now with some official certifications passing through the FCC, we might be seeing it hit the street sooner than later. We still don’t know much about the device proper, other than that it cuts size by ditching the directional pad and it has an identical 5 megapixel camera. There’s little reason to believe that the N97 Mini will be any better received than its big brother, but we can hope that it will launch with firmware a little more significantly upgraded than the last update.
