Europe : The desirable touchscreen which spreads 3.2 inches has triggered a range of improvements such as flick scrolling and homescreen widgets. The new software which enables these new features on the Nokia N97 mini will be available for Nokia N97 users to download sometime in October.

Lifecasting enables users to update their Facebook status directly from the device’s homescreen. It doesn’t stop there though as location details can also be updated, enabling a whole new level of social sharing and communication. With the ability to completely customise the homescreen, users will be able to make their N97 mini truly unique.
