Nokia N97 to start selling in India for Rs.35000 on June 23rd

on June 4, 2009 – 5:24 pm22 Comments

Nokia’s flagship touch-screen handset N97 will be launched nationwide within two weeks at a likely price of around Rs.35,000, the company announced Thursday.

This announcement comes after Nokia HQ announced worldwide availability of the phone

We were lucky to get our hands on this phone.

“The handset is expected to begin shipping in India in the next two weeks,” Vineet Taneja, director-marketing of Nokia India, told reporters here.

The price of the high-end smartphone would be around Rs.35,000, Taneja said while refusing to give the exact price. We were right about the price point being around 35000.

“Fuelled by a multitude of media and applications through the Ovi Store, the N-97 transforms the Internet into an experience that is completely tailored to the tastes and interests of its users,” Taneja said.

Ovi Store is Nokia’s application downloading service through which users can procure free mobile applications for their handsets.

Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the model supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more.

This is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia music store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days. The N-97 has a five-megapixel camera with high-quality DVD quality video capture.

It also pioneers the concept of a personalised home screen that lets people choose their favourite content, providing an always open’ window to applications or Internet content such as social networking sites, RSS feeds and other widgets.

Don’t you think its a bit high for a handset during this time of recession ?

    From what i get from all nokia sources, it would be around INR 37K.

    Was expecting it to be around 30K-32K during the initial launch. Will have a 2-3K cut in price in 2 months price.

    This is outrageously priced. 37000 is too much man, you can get the best of the best laptops and any mobile phone at that price. Look at Nokia 5800 xpress music, its at 19000 Rs but gives you almost everything other that physical qwerty it has on-screen qwerty and used the same Symbiam S60 v 5 OS. You dont really need 5 MP camera, 3.5 is more than sufficient and delivers extremely crisp pics and videos.
    I am not burning 37000 in times of recession…come on Nokia India what happened to your market sense, you could have sold billions of sets had you priced it reasonably. This is just an ounce better that Nokia 5800 (Uses the same OS – Symbian S60v5), so price shouldnt be more than 25K

  • Giriraj

    It definitely is outrageously priced.
    I expected it to be around 30K.
