Nokia (re)announces N97, Vodafone users get 3 months of free data access

Nokia held a media event in Mumbai to officially launch their flagship N97 phone. They have already announced the phone in different cities of India and Mumbai will likely be the last stop since the pre-bookers will start receiving the phone by next week.
Nokia also announced its collaboration with Vodafone that will give Vodafone users a couple of extra features. First, users buying N97 from Vodafone are eligible for a three month free data plan and second, they’ll have an exclusive access to ‘The Groove’ lifestyle widget that provides live updates on movies, dining, shopping, clubbing etc. Click here to learn how Groove works.
Nokia is still playing coy to reveal the actual price and just says ‘around’ Rs. 35,000. However, one of my acquaintance who recently pre-booked the device claims Rs. 34,000 is the actual price.
