Mobile phone leader Nokia posted a countdown timer that ticked away the seconds until the company officially unveiled its newest mystery product. Early this morning, it was revealed to be the latest N-Series device, the N97.

Today, Nokia's unveiling the N97, which is the company's best chance at staying relevant in the fast-paced and increasingly competitive industry. Nokia has done a good job of keeping this project under wraps, so this morning will be the first time pictures of the phone and the device's specifications will be made public. Nokia will make the announcement at Nokia World in Barcelona today at 9:15 a.m. CET, which is just a little past midnight on the West Coast. Based on early information Nokia provided to the press before the announcement, the phone looks like an HTC Tilt, but behaves like the T-Mobile G1, and easily beats both the iPhone and G1 when it comes to a number of features and specifications, like the 5 megapixel camera, video-recording capabilities and support for Adobe's Flash.
