Nokia's N97 unboxed on video -- somehow, someway

by Darren Murph posted May 31st 2009 at 12:22PM

We always heard that where there is a will, there is a way. Said mantra has never been more exemplified than in the video past the break, as someone halfway across this great planet has seemingly procured what could be the very first shipping N97. Still, we'd like to point out a few things here: first, Nokia has yet to officially ship these things, so there's at least a sliver of a chance that by mashing play, you'll actually be watching a KIRF unboxing, and in turn, supporting terrorism. Also, we can't understand a word the unboxer says, so again, he could be explaining just how elaborate of a fake it is, and we'd never know. Needless to say, you should definitely proceed at your own risk.

Update: Seems another fellow got one, and he's got pictures to prove it.

It looks legit, but again I don't understand French. Also, it's very suspicious that he barely even shows the phone and doesn't focus on it at all...

He just describes what's in the box, but in a bored and sloppy way. It's almost painful to listen to him.

Awesome, thanks for sharing this link. I have an E71 currently but I've pre-ordered an N97 so that's exactly what I needed to see. I didn't realize that the N97 would actually be shorter than the E71. That's impressive to see.

you know, the N97 is supposed to be 3mm taller. Kinda makes you wonder if this is a KIRF.
