While we’ve seen and heard about the Nokia N97 mini several times before, Nokia has refraned from officially taking the wraps off the device. Today, however, at Nokia World in Stuttgart, Nokia’s Anssi Vanjok has finally made the phone official.

The phone itself features a 3.2-inch touch screen, a QWERTY keyboard, social networking integration and built-in Lonely Planet guidebooks, among other things.

Price wise we’re looking at €450 (about $640) but Mr. Vanjok is positive it will be free with a contract in several different markets with it’s made available next month.
