I would say N97 Mini is an improve version over it's brother N97. You will NOT regret getting one. The built quality is really classy especially they change the metal battery cover.

However, the One disadvantage of getting the N97 Mini is that It's so difficult to find a nice looking pouch or case. Most of the pouch in the market is for N97. I found a few online but WAYYYYY too EXPENSIVE "Noreve Brand" Anyone got themselve a nice pouch for their Mini? mind to share some pic and where to get them?
