A word on availability:
on Nokias page, in the Availability list, Norway isn't listed. But carrier Telenor has gone out and said that they have an exclusive agreement with Nokia, and will be the sole distributor of N9 in Norway. So that indicates that there are loop holes in that availability list.

It also means that N9 will be available through an abusive former monopolist company, so I would still look at parallel import.

Plus the Swedish date was estimate and for carrier.

I'm not sure if its true or not.

I guess all countrys get it pretty much at the same time as all prevoius phones like n900.

nokia store could sell it before carriers, but im sure its pretty much the same date.

as much as I want a hardware keyboard I think I will get an n9. Its the first time I have two choices stick with my n900 or get the n9. I would love the 64gb for all my music on my phone, and the rest of the specs are awesome.

My only question is. There is no U.S. release date ?

My wild guess how MrFlop and his Microsoft will kill N9 is that they release an WP7 version of the phone. That means we all have to wait to October even if WP version will not come to sweden(my country for example) at the start...

And as we know we have already seen his "leaked video" My guess is it will also has exact same name and same UI that way no one will ever now the different.

Until in some year when they realise theyr freedom is gone and Microsoft and carriers has full control of the mobile users


Btw. It was also me heard one carrier in sweden said 23 sept but it was a preliminary time they gopt from Nokia, so my guess is this can change...

i previously wondered if you can disable the swipe when using games.
Check out the video from 2:50 - 3:00 and you'll see he has to pause it to swipe it off. so looks like apps/games can override the swipe control.

on a sidenote, nokia n9 daily interest on gsmarena.com surpassing 80'000 hits a day.

True, but the thing is this Swedish carrier is the only one to give the date and even says it's a estimate. I'm not doubting that most of the countries, especially Nordic will get it at same time. I'm doubting that the date is right at all.

Oh, my mistake.
But I still think that the announcal of the wp will eat away the N9's market.
