We had hoped that June 25 date would stay put for the much-awaited Amazon’s Nokia N97 release. Sadly, though, things are not looking too great at this end. Amazon has now updated its N97 availability date from June 25 to June 30. This is possibly reflecting some insider information they have received from Nokia that the phone is running a little behind schedule.
Of course, first-party preorders aren’t expected to ship until July, so if the June 30 thing is really true, this still puts you ahead of the game. Well, we can do little else than sit and wait for the yum phone’s release.

If you’re looking for 3G LG phone, you need to drop a few more bucks on the slightly pricier Xenon, but LG’s Neon carries over most of the Xenon’s other features for much less dough. And this way, you can even keep your loyalties intact. AT&T is now offering the LG Neon.

Of course, there is a lot of rumor surrounding Apple’s new iPhone 3GS or the iPhone 2009. The latest such rumor is that, at Apple’s WWDC 2009 keynote, we will know which rumors panned out and which rumors sank like a rock. Well, until then, these rumors are all we have to go on.
The latest rumblings along the Apple iPhone grapevine have Apple getting ready to introduce their next-generation iPhone as the iPhone 3GS. No, that’s not a typo. While some are calling it the iPhone 2009, other online sources are predicting the next iPhone smartphone’s model name will be the iPhone 3GS – more of an upgraded “step up” from the current iPhone 3G than a radically different iPhone.
It is also expected that the new iPhone 3GS will double-up on processor speed, RAM and built-in storage. The iPhone 3GS will be offered at $199 and $299 price-points for the 16GB and 32GB iPhone 3GS, respectively. The lower-priced iPhone, it is rumored, will end up being the current 8GB iPhone 3G – priced at just $99.
The iPhone 3GS – it’s only a matter of a few hours before we know for sure. Keep checking back with PhoneArea as we bring you the latest on the latest iPhone!
