Confirmed, price and all, unlocked, all variants (colors and GB), can be reserved TODAY. Coming September 23 in Norway/Sweden/Denmark/Finland
N9, black, 16GB, incl shipping, price 4690 NOK = 602.73 € http://cdon.no/elektronikk/nokia_n9_black_16gb-14997037
Down-side is that they seem to offer 64GB in black only, & 16GB in cyan only.
I'm thinking about placing an order...
But I'll be pissed if they turn around later, & say I have to pay more.
I vaguely recall these guys having a good rep. WRT the N900.
I would have taken the 16GB version at £400, if it had an SD card slot. 9GB free on first boot is too low for me, and I'm not paying silly money for additional internal flash memory (which is not portable or replacable if it becomes corrupted).
What about 464 pound for the 64GB one?
See my response about retailer above.

Yes i agree and i still think it is very overpriced.
What i would like to know is why they decided to leave the SD slot out? stupid when you think nowerdays even the cheap phones have that slot even if for music.
Am wondering if there is a place unfilled on the pcb for this but still needs software.

Take a look at disassembly instructions. Compared to N810/N900 it has surprisingly more disassembly steps.
any idea if harmattan support themes ? background picture support for application grid and notification screen ?
Officially, no (only lockscreen wallpaper). Unofficially, those screens are easy to modify through hacking some CSS (and this can also be done as themes, though there is no default GUI to switch themes).
I expect that many will share their customisations/hacks as installable packages.
E.g. somebody could easily make a package that changes the CSS to load a specific background image, coupled with a GUI that allows one to change that image.

EDIT: There is no place on the pcb for the slot.
That pic is no where near good enough to get a close up look and in many cases there is a tiny sub-board assembly that solders down to a few pins, i do not doubt your words but i still find it strange there is no place at all for an SD and of course there is the added problem of an outer slot but it could well be internally inserted as some ram is on laptops with no physical access point.
