Oh Play.com, how we have missed your release date leakage naughtiness! Now they have put the cat amongst the monkeys by releasing their release date for the eagerly awaited Nokia N97 as being March 31st 2009, a good few months earlier than many had predicted.
With a SIM-free cost of £479.99 on their site, I won’t be busting out the chequebook quite yet…
Release date brought forward to avoid a collision course with the Palm Pre, perhaps? Hmm…

Yes, we know the Nokia N97 is coming, but trust Nokia to drown us with a wealth of information about their future plans just as everyone is getting geared up for an Xperia for Xmas or Samsung from Santa.
Last week’s Capital Markets Day presentation in Brooklyn got tongues wagging, not least because of an advert which Nokia put up about a new gesture-based user interface they were developing, without explanation or elaboration on what this gorgeous device was, or whether it would ever even be in production.
It looks to be a cross between the widget-based interface for the 5800 XpressMusic and the changeable interfaces of the Xperia X1, all with gesture-based input as opposed to the simplistic poke-and-drag most have made do with.
The question is, what kind of inputs are left now that Apple have practically patented the human finger for the iPhone and Macbook interfaces?
Exciting!
