Look what the courier brought over

Everybody in our office was overwhelmed with joy. Nokia N91 has finally been launched. We first saw the N91 model approximately an year ago, but since then we would only hear "postponed", "not yet", "be patient and wait a little bit more" etc. And here it is - an attractive box in the courier's hands, which made an entire year of waiting seem as if it had never happened.
