Shortly after Nokia presented their new Ovi Store at the Mobile World Congress 2009, they also announced that the Nokia N97, the company's upcoming flagship device will be the first to offer the new service right out of the box. Ovi Store not only will be pre-installed in the new N97 but it will also have a shorcut for direct acces to it, right from the home screen. Propably Nokia will offer that ability in a form of widget.

In the same announcment Nokia confirmed that the N97 will be available starting in June, putting in the rest all the rumors which wanted it, to be available as early as March. The June release date is refering to the European variant of the Nokia N97, the NAM model is expected to release a few weeks after the European model hit the stores.
