Play.com has put out a release date for the UK on the Nokia N97 smartphone even though Nokia hasn’t officially given the Nokia N97 an official UK release date.

But according to Play.com UK the Nokia’s new flagship smartphone the Nokia N97 will land in the United Kingdom on March 31st and will command a hefty price tag of £479.99 without contract.

If this new is correct, the Nokia N97 will reach UK store shelves ahead of the proposed launch of the Palm Pre. However according to Pocket-lint, they have been contacted by Nokia which say this date is untrue and no confirmed date has been set for the UK launch of the Nokia N97.

Seems Play.com UK got it wrong, but will see.
