We’ve seen sample pictures from the N97 before, e.g. here and here.

Video: Nokia N97 Disassembly
Want to see the guts of the Nokia N97? It’s not a pretty site, as the N97 is torn down systematically to its innards. A bit like what Iive in Anatomy to cadavers, it’s interesting to see exactly what and where the parts of the N97 are located, e.g. I’ve always wanted to know where [...]

Every now and again, I blog about something that’s not strictly Nokia related, but is indirectly connected as it’s usually something I’d like to see Nokia implement or take inspiration from.
