I wonder if Nokia has any plans to sell anything in the US.
I'm fairly certain that by having the N9 cleared, Nokia will be able to either skip or at least severely reduce the amount of time it will take for the identical hardware Windows Phone 7 version of the N9, code name "Sea Ray", to be cleared by the FCC. That would be a pretty good reason to put the N9 through.

Exactly. Having been involved in CE testing for a product, i can say in short that having to re-test only parts can lessen time for certification if certain preconditions are met. Which should involve at least the RF part here, (the case is not really that different), so much less time needed.

Lol, nice.
It looks like Nokia is really working hard at sabotaging itself.
If before today I was considering the N9 as a possible future phone for me, now I am pretty sure my next phone will be an Android.

MeeGo N9 a threat to WP N9
http://utestme.com/wp-as-a-far-cry-from-meego/
Translation: We are not going to jeopardize the Microsoft powered N9 US sales by letting the customers compare a better MeeGo to a worse WP, given the exact same hardware premises.

According to Comscore, Microsoft's smartphone share in the US is dropping - and they're hoping Nokia will reverse that? In the US? Because Nokia is such a well-known brand for high-end phones in the US?

And the US, of course, is such a huge part of the worldwide mobile phone market... /S

I'd get depressed but I promised myself I'd stop getting depressed over what Nokia is doing.

I bet Nokia will come with N9 to US. cause of FCC already filled but it will run WP7.

And then.they will try to give "free upgrade" to the europeans to run WP7 in Q1 2011. start make me wonder if this is the "support" Klas Ström means :O

Unlikely, as the N9 is TI OMAP based whereas WP7 devices are (so far, and this isn't likely to change any time soon with Nokia and stock Mango) Qualcomm Snapdragon based.

So the N9 and the Nokia WP7 "SeaRay" will be totally different devices in terms of internal hardware, but externally they (may) look very similar. I seriously doubt the FCC would care much - if at all - about external appearance. Maybe one day Microsoft will support more SoC hardware than just Snapdragon, but for now that's all their is.

The N9 will be available in the US though, via Expansys etc. - from Juha-Pekka Helminen, "Mobile telecoms & device strategy & planning, product mgmt, BD, MeeGo, Qt. @Nokia":

It basically means that Expansys or whoever will sell you #N9 in the US "grey market" i.e. they will import it to the US.
Followed up with this tweet:

What this basically means is that Nokia will not provide first line customer care and support in the US either for #N9.
So the N9 will be available in the US one way or another, no doubt with pretty hefty price mark ups, and don't expect any first line support from Nokia. Nice, eh?
