N9 is EOL inside Nokia and Elop is one of the biggest idiots in todays planet. So no, its not officially released in US. Get real!

I think Fry's also sold other on-their-last-legs related products, the N900, N810, and N800, for bargain-basement prices.

Yeah a lot of it was unrelated, but I can't help but think that the whole premise of the article was the assumption that an ad on frys means an official release, not once did it say nokia said this etc...
poor journalism in my view, but a glowing mention of the N9 I like.

It's definitely too late for an official release to be sucessful either way.

I will connect my foot with Elop's *** if I ever see him and I'll make sure I have someone there with a pureview camera snapping a pic of me connecting so that you can zoom in 3 times until you get the precise moment in time and space down to the 10 thousandths of an inch when I connect to Nokia and leave my user feedback and show North Korea how to properly launch something.

Now I know you guys are probably saying, "this guy is emotional and Elop is just an easy target" but guys when I read the title of this thread I hopped out of my room mates cars passenger seat and hit my head on the inside roof which accidentally caused me to butt dial 911 on my N9 that was in my back pocket. When 911 answered and asked me what my emergency was I was saying "nine nine nine" so they just hung up (swipe to close is easier in that position).
I was so excited that the Nokia board possibly finally saw the light and reason of the N9 that I imagined someone put a giant fly paper outside Elops office and he was still stuck there where he could no longer do any harm and left to dehydrate until he shriveled up until he looked like the Iceman.



^That's not a nightmare that's a fantasy^

I could not hold in the smile inching across my face as I was sitting there getting a ride home from my room mate and I said out loud, "the N9 is coming here to the US." My room mate who is an Iphone fan briefly turned his head and said, "ah ha."

Good call room mate, I was so caught up in the moment I didn't realize ......one second.......
Ahhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh b*******!
Excuse me.

i been to fry's and seen it there.

n900 didnt have 3g band for then biggest carrier in the US, ATT. thats epic fail.

i saw that ad in the union Tribune, it runs the "Mego OS" and it has a "4.3" screen."

cant wait for the win 8 tablet from nokia. keeping my money for that.

I don't think that was an epic failure. I was on AT&T before I got my N900... and it was the N900 that made me switch to T-Mobile. I had no idea how much money I was wasting on ATT before, nor how crappy ATT's service was.

So thank you Nokia for making me switch to a better carrier!

Engadget has a post saying that the thing is real they just go the wrong specs
