well final date should have been announced by now.
i mean... later developed outsourced belle its done, (or getting released without much test)
n950 felt nice, n9 SHOULD be complete.

I'd prefer to have it a bit later than half-baked.
(*): well, that does not include Chuck Norris, of course...

But if I had to wait until that day without any information, that would be just too cruel... Silence is bad. Really really bad.

If they'd announced a precise date 2-3 months in advance and could not stick to it for any reason (the industrial process for those gorgeous polycabonate shells, for example, must be a pretty harsh one to fine-tune and optimize...), I'd guess this would have generated some heat among impatient fans...
Furthermore, the general strategy seems to be incremental availability, by region, rather than a simultaneous worldwide availability. That must make sense from a logistic point of view...

N9 is up for pre-orders in Russia:
http://nokiaru.polldaddy.com/s/buy-n9
23990 RUB / 570 EUR for the 16 Gb version in black, light blue or pink
25990 RUB / 615 EUR for the 64 Gb version in black ony
EDIT:
1. If you think this might be fake due to the polldaddy domain, go to www.nokia.ru and click on the n9 link on the bottom left.
2. They don't give a release date and it's not clear if filling the form will guarantee your pre-order or not.

N9 is also up for pre-order from two retailers in Kazakhstan.
The official Nokia Kazakhstan website (http://kz.nokia.com/home) links to Technohouse and Sulpak:
http://www.technodom.kz/actions/discount/69669/
http://www.sulpak.kz/coming_soons.ph...ENT_ID=1427181
Both retailers are taking pre-orders for the 16 Gb version. The pre-order price is 99990 KZT / 490 EUR.
Sulpak has confirmed a release date: September 30.

Incremental availability from a logistic point of view makes perfect sense. But one thing should be clarified - price. If they have any reason for delay the device, price should be the same no matter what, no? So why not announce that? I know that Nokia Finland did, but why not other countries?
When was last blogpost published dedicated to N9 on Nokia Conversations blog? Nothing new since then? Blogpost about how hard it is to manufacture such phone or if video calling will be there on launch or which apps will be available, would be reaaaally appreciated.
Damn, N9 from June 21st looked finnished! That is almost 3 months now! Did somebody spotted any bugs or unfinished work?
I'm really eager to hold this device in my hand so I am pretty biased. Ah.

The wait is probably almost over now. They need to launch it well in time for the holiday (X-Mas) shopping anyway...
