By "well-known establishments" I assume you're referring major online retailers for North America?
I wouldn't imagine you'd be an expert on distribution/retail channels for every country/region on earth.
But you're certainly giving it a "fair crack" in your thread, & good for you for doing that!

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who falls in love with the N9 but thinks it's just missing WP7... deserves WP7.

I don't feel like a headache today so I'll steer well clear.
But thanks for the pointer!

Hey chill, didn't he suggest resellerratings?
Have you honestly never heard of it?
I'm from Australia & I know of it, but it's never been very relevant to my region.
It's been around for years & years, since before even web2.0 (whatever that is).
It's been a popular place to get a rough idea of how trustworthy vendors are.
Don't know how good or bad it is nowadays, but it was a go to place yrs back.

Yeah certainly smells so damn dodgy.
Esp. with what expansys was tweeting recently

The N9 is both sold through amazon.de and some merchants using
the amazon platform.
Right now amazon.de has no stock and is only taking preorders.

The landline diverted to an answering machine. The mobile they have on their website rang 4 times, and as I was ready to hang up (waiting for the proximity sensor to realize the N900 is not near my face anymore) I heard somebody answering 'hello' and then they hung up on me. I called again but they refused the call. Zoxir, giorgosmit have you had any experience with that store? They have pretty good prices on other nokia phones (X7, E6, but no E7 unfortunately).

I had no idea that site existed man I'll try calling them tomorrow if I find some time (and if I still remember).

If not US where the **** will it be released this year :O I hope NOT sweden! because that only hurts N9

I like it actually. A lot.

Still learning it, testing it out, putting it through the paces.

Gah you're doing it again!!!
You're pointing-out all the things he needs to remember to block!
Please don't do that, I don't trust the guy as far as I can throw him.
While I appreciate the intent, I just don't think it's a good idea.
And no I'm not taking this tin-foil hat off!

The 16GB is fairly easy to get here, & for a reasonable price outright.
But the 64GB is pretty damn limited, & that's really starting to piss me off.
There's only one major retailer who you can buy outright from.
Otherwise your only option is to go on contract...
And even those getting it on contract seem to be experiencing big delays.
Admittedly though I haven't been following that aspect closely.

I'll be doing the same no doubt

I'm not attending Nokia World but can someone please throw at shoe at that man? I will start a fund for bail if any arrests are made.

Marxian, can we haz a picture of Elop with a shoe being thrown at him, k thx!

My recommendation regarding BBC is not for you to buy Android, but for us to do some work to ensure that a great BBC experience is also available on our platforms

Maybe it really is just production issues (as hinted by Mece) & many of these bigger (global) resellers will start to get larger gobs of stock soon?
If true that should be reflected any day now surely, man I really hope that happens for the 64GB, & in Australia too!!

Okay I go dream sweet dreams of N9 64GB now.....

What carrier are u using it on here in the US?

Also are u able to get the hotspot working?

got one finally from negri. I love it btw. I think the email client is pretty nice, as far as how smooth it handles html, something android just cant seem to get right yet.
