LONDON, England – It’s been an agonizing wait for many, but this morning the new Nokia N97 flagship smartphone has finally touched down on UK soil, aptly going on sale at the flagship store in London. It’s in good company too, with the new Nokia N86 also debuting in the UK today.

The mood in the store has been great today, the augmented reality screens have sure caused some interest.
It was also great to see some of the big names in internet blogging making an appearance too.

Thanks for the great links to the price-plans for this phone. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Hopefully the individual shops in my town will have access to this when i go into town next week. None of them have any details from their respective head offices yet!

The phone is amazing, received 3 from eXpansys, 2 for friends.
The device is fab and the best thing to come from Nokia. Needs a few things cleaning up but overall amazing bit of kit.

Hey! This is regarding the recently concluded Search for N Contest in India (www.searchforn.com). I’m disappointed to see that my name is not on the list of Fonearena winners, even though I was the FIRST yesterday to give the answer. So, how come some one else’s name was announced? And the winners list shows that some VARUN GOYAL AND MANISH AGGARWAL won from this site. Is this the same VARUN who is also the ADMIN of this blog? So Varun gave himself the prize? We demand a clarification on what basis were these winners declared, when I was the first to submit my answer on the Final Day!

N86 8MP also came out here in the Philippines today. I was stunned by its price, Php23,400, almost the same price when I bought my N82 Black 11 months ago. Sweet!! Best value!!

Nokia should have stores in all major capitals and cities World-wide. This is what Apple and Sony have.
I want to go there and try these phones and not rely on online reviews nor have to deal with a fake overseas reseller.

in my view the N86 is so under rated and in need of a BIG push and QUICKLY.
Right from the start at MWC all the news was on Ovi Store and 2 new ESeries phones… the N86 was not even really ‘announced’ it sort of slipped through the door at the last minute with a video on the press site.
Then all the talk was of the N97 launch on the 19th June and there was posters, online bloggers going crazy and press wanting to be first in with reviews…. so what for the N86?… pretty much nothing. In fact I was one of the first bloggers who noticed it was launching the same day as the N97 and tried to get the news out to as many people as possible because people just did not know it was due out.
This is Nokia’s first 8MP camera phone with amazing camera quality, great specs and it looks great too so how come Nokia have yet to really brag about this device?
