Great news, as WP7 will also get a superb hardware....so NOKIA will rock in both directions and you have a choice of your OS!!!
On gsmarena and elsewhere the news are all GOOD and enthusiastic.

The first Nokia Windows phone offering:
Netherlands
France
Germany

Spain

No overlap. I guess to avoid customer confusion.

Why?
It has been said that N9 wont be coming to the markets where first wave of WP will be sold.
Like Finland gets N9 first, but no WP.
Looks like Dsmobile was right about one of the first WP phones being N9.
EDIT: Ah, I see we have confirmation that WP7/MeeGo target markets are mutually exclusive. <sarcasm> oh yeah, problem solved!
</sarcasm>

Argh, I wonder if the distribution channels will have unlocked MeeGo phones when they're available in the US and the subsidized market which here in the states is how the vast majority of consumers get their phones will only have the WP7 version. I won't have an issue with this strategy if we the consumer have the option. But if Elop gets facist on the consumer it will definitely alienate the loyal Nokia followers that have somehow barely hung in there.
Choices is what drives markets, not sandboxing people into an option they do not want.

FOR GOODNESS' SAKE ELOPPPPPPPPPPPPP READ THE SHARE PRICES AND STOP BEING SO ARROGANT.
N9 launch = people like
WP7 = people don't like.
people = nokia's market. nokia's $$$. nokia's future.

Looks like Nokia is the new Samsung, where everything looks the same until you switch it on.

It's one of the biggest Nokia markets for sure, but WP7 have no presence here. And we have a gigantic open source community here.
N9 is certainly the right version for Finland rather than WP. Finland was no doubt only country in the world where N900 sold a lot and you could see it weelkly on the streets.
