Bill: "Hi, my name's Bill. I work in strategy. What's your name? I haven't seen you before."

Ben: "My name's Ben. I work in marketing. What's the latest news on this Meltemi thing?"

Bill: "It's a Linux OS for low end devices. It's just a minor thing. It was only supposed to be on a million phones, but some clown misheard and the slogan became 'the next billion'. Ballmer hit the fvckin' roof. Chairs flying everywhere. He doesn't like all this talk of a billion phones running Linux, even the heavily gimped, locked-down type."

Ben: "It's going to be tough selling a billion of anything, given that we've been screwing our customers for the last few years. I think the N9 will be a hit, though."

Bill: "Nah. We've only produced 92,000 of the things. The boss is making sure that it will be buried. We've got some WP devices that will be announced soon. That should do it."

Ben: "I see. What about this Tizen thingy? Do you see that as being a threat to WP?"

Bill: "We're pretty sure that it will fail, although with Samsung involved, there is a slight chance of success. Had we been on the inside, we could have been certain of failure. Now we'll just have to rely on Intel and The Linux Foundation to fvck it up."

Ben: "That might not be enough to guarantee the success of WP though. Sales haven't been to great."

Bill: "Ballmer's going to see to that one. He's meeting the execs from the big carriers later. In the conference room, there's at least 50 chairs, but there are only 15 people attending. I heard Ballmer insisted on extra chairs. No idea what he wants with them."

Bill: "Hey! What's that under your shirt? Are you wearing a wire. Motherfvcker!"

And Nokia really is trying to **** their customers. There are huge launch events around every other maker launch, and we need to beg Nokia to sell, or at least tell how to buy their phones.

Each day I read this threads I lose more interest in the n9, cause we won't have even community support if no one have access to it.

Prices for the Nokia N9 are as follows,

N9 16gb = 388.584677 British pounds inc vat

N9 64gb = 429.704749 British pounds inc vat

These prices are NOKIA prices from Asia and i can not find them cheaper anywhere else.

EVERYONE who wants to buy the N9 MUST act NOW or you will lose out as they will sell as fast as hot cakes.

Will there be an ability to flash the phone manually just like N900?
