we still have no confirmation that we will see the N9 in these countrys... so i still expect the worst...
"Die Antwort ist eigentlich logisch"
AFAIK, we don't have confirmation that we will see N9 anywhere except Sweden, so that is hardly a reason to expect the worst.
I would expect to see the N9 from all carriers who had the N900 (which doesn't necessarily help me, no carriers in South Africa offered it, but some service providers did it on carrier contracts).
