We knew it would be coming this month, but now with Nokia has ‘fessed up as to when we can expect to see the Nokia N97 Mini in the shops.

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the smaller handset, Nokia has confirmed via its Flagship Store Twitter feed that we’ll be able to pick it up from 23 October.

This means Nokia’s central London Regent Street store will be getting the phone on this date, with other stores to get it in the days following.

As for how much it’s going to set you back, Nokia has the price listed as £429, but Vodafone, who leaked the handset earlier this year, has no such details as yet.

As its name suggests, the N97 Mini is a smaller version of this year’s N97, dropping 3 inches from its screen size down to 3.2, and cutting internal storage from 32GB to 8GB.
