maybe so, but he did reply, and the N9 will be available, all be it online only.
I could ask for more but that's better than nothing.

True. But it always looked likely for the UK (retail channels, not carriers)
I'd like some clarification from them RE the US...
It seems it may be Amzon only, but even that's not 100% certain.
And I wonder what is meant exactly by "some online sellers".
Are they deliberately constraining how many retailers can distribute, & in what no's?
I hope not....

A tech giant's CEO who replies to customer's emails?
That reminds me of someone.... Hmmm...

Here's what's been written:

Thank you for your quick reply, I can only once again appeal to you to listen to your customers, but that said I am somewhat relieved to hear that you are endorsing online sales of the N9 in the UK.

Subject: RE: Problem purchasing Nokia in the UK
Thanks for the note.
We do expect to have N9 available through some online resellers. That being said, it is also our intention to have Windows Phone based products which themselves are a great user experience and that beat the competition. Indeed, consumer research including in the UK encourages us that this will be achieved.
I hope we can meet your needs one way or the other.
Regards,
Stephen

Subject: Problem purchasing Nokia in the UK
Dear Mr Elop,
I am writing to express my concern at the decision not to sell the forthcoming Nokia N9 mobile telephone, in the UK. I have been a loyal Nokia customer for the past decade. With regards to your strategic decision to pursue the Windows Phone operating system, I am indeed sceptical. As a London based television editor I have a keen insight into consumer trends in technology. In the mobile brand game, Microsoft loses hands down to Apple. I cannot imagine myself ever owning an MS Widows Phone / Nokia – despite the fact that I embrace Windows PCs over Apple desktops. I willingly admit that they are less expensive and easier to maintain. It is unfathomable that Nokia has overlooked the Android mobile OS. However with the N9 and the Meego (previously Maemo) OS there is a unique opportunity to have a distinct user experience, which all the while is capable of compatibility with Android applications (Alien Dalvik). Above all, the most compelling reason to support the N9, is its user interface which by all accounts, in every side by side review places it head and shoulders above Apple IOS, Google Android, and MS WP7. Please allow educated consumers the opportunity to purchase the product they want. If for one moment you could set aside internal politics and your urgent desire to have a unified R&D strategy, it would be amazing to be able to purchase a phone which not only looks great but operationally trashes the competition. Please sell me a Nokia N9.
Deeply saddened and concerned,
(NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED)
