Hey guys,
Does anyone know if this device coming to Asia or Asia-Pacific ? or will coming to ASIA before christmas season?

I'm living with pains everyday knowing that it is only coming out to selected markets "EUROPE and USA", I really want this device to hold in my hands. I bet it will feel just like a new born baby.

I don't see why Nokia left ASIA pacific out of its developed markets. Singapore, Malaysia, India, and China are pretty large comparing to Europe market. Though not as large but it won't hurt to push it out for Nokia Linux enthusiastics like me.

Nothing listed on Aus or KIWI sites from Nokia - will have to import.

Yeah it will come to India on October 23rd if amazon ships it pre-order before that date since i am going to india on the 23rd.

Jokes apart. As usual nokia will delay the release of the n900 in India because of the lack of either wide spread wifi and lack of 3G frequencies.

Yeah I know, I'm from NZ too. Been searching and waiting like hell. but still nothing is available that related to the N900 in NZ at all. Well not to mention Oceania region. But take a look at ASIA market. It is huge and still nothing. Whether there is lacked of 3G or what ever. But 3G phones are used wide spread in all ASIA.

For the people who are interested in the N900 in Asia/SE Asia.

Bad news from semi-reliable source.

Hopefully the people who do grey imports in Malaysia pick up Nokia's slack. Not holding my breath though...
