I assume you mean the N9 is for the consumer mass market however if the phone is only going to be sold in a limited counties, I assume in limited numbers as well, how can it be for the "mass market"?
At the moment there is no evidence that Elop is going to allow the N9 to be sold in greater numbers than the N900? It seems the last thing he wants is for the phone to be a run away success selling in large numbers.

I think that people who are willing to spend $60 or so on a monthly plan for a smartphone are insane. When my N900 dies, along with the $15 or so a month plan I am paying for service now, I am going to find a cheap phone and cheap plan and focus on having fun when I'm in a free WiFi situation, like at my house. It is time to show the wireless providers that we are not suckers by not buying their products. Don't give them your money, it just encourages them! You actually don't need to flash your status in bars with a cool phone. Read Thorstein Veblen's work on "conspicuous consumption" and repent!
More seriously, I am looking at other prepaid plans like Virgin Mobile's $25 a month plan. I think that techs should take a principled stand against being ripped off.

What's next for N900 users?
The accomplishment of properly porting the C++/Qt/QML framework to Honeycomb and Gingerbread then purchasing a high-end Android device from another OEM which is easily customizable and has no locked bootloader.
No offence.
Yeah Samsung is currently on the top of the list. HTC and Motorola (if unlocked) are next in-line. Followed by LG and Sony/ASUS/Acer/Dell/ZTE which I wouldn't recommend as much unless the product is top-notch.

Seriously... what is next for N900 users? Been thinking about that since most of the active developers have N950's and have moved on to support the new hotness (read: Harmattan) and will probably drop their current environment(s) for Qt (if they haven't already) and the N900 will be further forgotten by Nokia and this community.
That's my guess. I'd love to be proven wrong.
