While N97 sold nicely i think it hurt them more than the profits they got. Actually Nokias high ranking executive openly admitted that while N97 sold it was result of far to streched hardware architecture and failiure for Nokia's image(and i agree). I wouldn't really show anything N97 related at this point. N97 mini is enough already.

They got nothing else than stopgap products still the full on Qt love OS that actually are worth to develope example new OVI maps based on Qt and so on.

Still looks to be great device to sit next to my N900. I have been looking for music player + camera phone and N8 being 12.9mm at the thickest part and by Eldars words already got best camera it looks like a phone for me. That said it better be out in July.
