Nokia has confirmed the UK release date of its top-of-the-range N96 multimedia handset is set for 1 October.
The device is part of a new group of E-series enterprise handsets - a lineup which includes the E71 - which was unveiled last month by the world's largest mobile phone maker to rival the success of the iPhone.
Since its development was unveiled early in June, there has been much speculation over when the N96 would hit the market.
Today, as well as confirming its imminent UK arrival, it also said the N96 would be sold through mobile operators, 3, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone.
And, although pricing details still were still not confirmed, Nokia said it anticipated to retail the N96 at around 550 (430).
The revamped handset will still feature a five megapixel camera, with an enlarged 2.7" QVGA screen, built-in GPS and double the memory, at 16GB.
The market will be looking to see if Nokia's N96 sales can compete with the heavy demand Apple's recently introduced updated iPhone with 3G connectivity built-in.
