I've become more convinced that the MISTAKE is to buy an N9 hoping to prove Elop wrong. I'm far more convinced that not buying anything Nokia will prove him to be FAR, FAR more wrong and very much more likely to get booted out and someone else get in there to reverse these stupid mistakes. I'm just saying--if you're all "free-market", then vote with your dollars, dammit!

I expressed my discontent for how they are just about to alienate all their loyal users to bring in new ones. I understand business is business, but i see no reason the n9 and wp can't coexist here in the US. Seriously, how hard would it be to just let us buy it unlocked online?

Here was the response i got this morning.
"Hi Joe,


Thank you for emailing the Nokia Careline.

We appreciate your interest in our product.

In response to your concern, we would like to inform you that the release date of the Nokia N9 is yet to be determined. Also, we are unable to guarantee if the said device will be available for purchase in the United States. What we can suggest to you is to frequently visit our website as well as our discussion board for more information on this matter.

We are hoping for your patience and understanding on this matter."

A glimmer of hope that a US version may come?
Thank you for your interest in the brand new Nokia N9--now running Harmattan. Your brand loyalty is important to us. Please stay on the web page and a third-party advertiser will be in contact with you shortly about an upcoming Windows Phone 7 phone!

Maybe because we can just talk here about how the N9 isn't coming to the US--AND A BUNCH OF OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. Oh right, we already ARE.

Why? Haven't you been paying attention to how AWESOME Windows Phone 7 has been selling? It's f***ing like HOTCAKES, Brah!! FAP FAP FAP... but it's clearly not selling.
