If I can manage to convince a reseller in Montreal, Canada to carry the Nokia N9 (he's a personal friend of mine), would there be a demand for it here? To keep things simple, it would probably be only 64gb blacks, coming from Dubai.

Not sure what to make of N9 situation in the UK. Expansys UK seem to think they can't get the N9 here. On the other hand, handtec say the hope to ship the first phones next week.
With some level of trepidation, I've preordered from Handtec (URL for those who haven't read the whole thread:

On another note, I noticed there is a UK version of the N9 charger called the AC-16X (see attached image) but I have no idea if or when it will be released.

Though I do have interest if his leads dry up and your canadian reseller sells to the US at a reasonable rate.

this total denial of sale/service for the uk really is unacceptable ! to refuse to sell the latest flagship device is beyond belief ....

Worldwidevoltage.com in Illinois has the 16GB N9 for $629. Dunno how legit they are, but might be worth looking into.

Also, don't mean to sound ungrateful or aggro, but didn't you just post this in another thread?

though being the most expensive nokia phone it cant be considered anything less than a flagship even if it is being scuttled by nokia themselves !
