Maybe you'll like to google for the difference between plastic and polycarbonate.
Dear Samgan, thanks for pointing that out. I am aware it is PC.

I am not saying the color is painted on but painting on PC is my daily business (DVD manufacturing)

Putting the color inside the PC gives it that cheap plastic look in my opinion.
Nokia is sure happy to save an expensive coating procedure. By dropping industrial design - polycarbonate to the marketing boys.

Remember the alu N8? At closer look: some Alu in the middle, coated plastic at the ends (yes I know, antennas, but the marketing....)
Sorry if the expression sounde popular.

PC is a commodity that sells (last time I checked) at around 0,75 usd/kg for the clear pellets.

For Malaysia the N9 charger comes with a British style 3 pin plug with flat pins. But voltage in Malaysia is 240V so be careful there.

In the end it is really plastic, so why does it cost so much, has always been my question.

Nokia has always been overpriced to us yankees for the N-series. It's a Nokia premium you're paying.

where are you from? are you from Singapore or US?

If you are from US...did they charge extra to ship to the US and did they automatic convert the prices?

thanks for answering
voltage is 240 but adapter wont matter right, since N9 charger will most likely handle both 120 and 240
all what I need is a universal adapter

I think a few pages back someone alluded to why production would probably cost more than the 710/800.

As I still don't have one and I am not very sure of that, can anyone confirm please that only last symbian phones allow the usb on the go, and not the N9 and lumia ? Thanks
