Remember the $1200 limited edition Nokia N96? Nokia is now applying the same idea (minus the Ninja) to the soon-to-be released N97 mini. Nokia has teamed up with F J Benjamin to create the N97 mini RAOUL Limited Edition, with only 1000 unit up for grabs. From the start Nokia designers explained that the N97 mini was created to be a more fashion-oriented(and smaller) version of the N97, that’s why it’s no surprise that they chose a partnership with a fashion brand.
What makes this different from the regular N97 mini? First of all it comes not only with the regular metal cover, but also an additional back cover emblazoned with RAOUL’s signature stripes. Other stuff included are a calf-skin leather pouch and matching leather dangler, all of this in a leather-wrapped RAOUL box. On the software side you also get a Fashion Asia widget.
There will be just one color: Rose Gold and it’s limited to Singapore and Malaysia. Those that pre-order before the 29th of October 2009 will also get:
- S$50 Nokia voucher
- S$50 RAOUL voucher
Ready to buy? You can pre-order yours at participating Nokia and RAOUL stores.
Update: Price is a cool S$1138 or about $815 US
