For information, the N9 is still listed in Switzerland on digitec.ch, and the price has dropped by 50CHF.
It's now 599CHF (~580€) for the 16GB version (Cyan, Magenta or Black) and 649CHF (~625€) for the 64GB version (Black only).
482 & 539 Euro for 16GB & 64GB @mobicity.com.au in Oz
But only black for 64GB, and only cyan for 16GB.
Haven't looked around for other retailers/carriers yet.
A few carriers have also mentioned rough availability of "September".
Still no "exact" dates that I'm aware of.....
*edit*
My bad, just announcements, not releases by the looks.

How the heck is Apple managing this in the EU? http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/20...rman-court.ars
In Australia it was like:
"Nice try mate, but no dice." (well technically still kinda pending, but sales go on)

same for cdon.se seems the sites is following each other and no one really knows :-/
What is going to be so special for this phone to attract that kind of money? It is another phone from Nokia that runs MeeGo not Symbian, it is probably not going to open as N900 and we will have to rely on the developers to get apps and Nokia for updates (that may never happen !)
I like the swipe, but really, not for that money, price shouldn't be any more than the current price of E7 or N8 which is between AUD 400 and 490.
It is just another phone from Nokia to keep it going in the smart phone market and hence should be competitively priced and frankly, it is not going to much advantage over Galaxy S (not even SII) other than the swipe.....
I stand corrected though.
I want to have a lengthy crack it this one soon hopefully....
Just need to stop nerdgasming over all the tech gear out there for a dozen hours or so 1st
*edit*
Oh & not sure why you argue it should be the same price as the N8? (esp. at launch) This is entirely different class of phone.
I've seen the 16GB for $668AUD & 64GB for $748AUD, no doubt there'll be cheaper prices elsewhere soon, & subsidization via carrier/s.
Pricing against Samsung + Android is a much trickier one to argue, will try to do so later.
