The Nokia N97 will be released in the UAE on June 2, if a teaser sent yesterday by the company is anything to go by.

Here's to guessing a price - I'm going to roll with a Dh3200ish ($820) kind of number - and whether they have secured any kind of operator deal, a la Blackberry / iPhone, to help the poor huddled masses of the UAE put the internet in their pocket.

With all those sweet little internet-enabled widgets sitting on its home screen, woe betide the guy who buys an N97 without a decent data plan (off-plan / prepaid mobile data goes for something in the range of Dh20 [$5.50] per megabyte, remember.)

Teaser from Nokia and a few extra links, after the jump:
