Phones4U confirms Nokia N97 for 26 June

Does launch date confirmation reveal Ovi Store timescales?

Further to the now-official news we brought you that O2 is to offer the Nokia N97, although when is still to be confirmed, retailer Phones4U has become the first UK company to actually confirm a concrete launch date.

Although it's still possible - and in fact likely - that someone else will nip in before, Phones4U has revealed it will be ranging the phone from 26 June, which also means that Nokia's Ovi Store should be up and running by this date too, as the service is to be pre-installed on the N97.

There's no Phones4U word on pricing, network information, or tariffs yet, but we're one step closer to a clearer picture for this new flagship handset's UK launch, and we'll keep you posted as the nuggets of data filter through.
