Astonishing.
Maybe I'll go hang around outside Nokia World next week with £600 in my hand shouting "take my money"?

This seems to be at odds with what Elop/Nokia have been saying
So freaking dodgy, I remember clearly Elop subtly suggesting when he was emailed:

"The only reason it won't go to the UK, is if the carriers don't want it, & so that's why it's not there, because the carriers don't like it."

Slimey prick... :(

If I can manage to convince a reseller in Montreal, Canada to carry the Nokia N9 (he's a personal friend of mine), would there be a demand for it here? To keep things simple, it would probably be only 64gb blacks, coming from Dubai.

With some level of trepidation, I've preordered from Handtec (URL for those who haven't read the whole thread:

I've just given up on the UK suppliers and ordered from a German retailer. This is not ideal as I would rather have purchased from the UK (and it would have been cheaper), but this lack of communication and mixed messages on part of the retailers did not help.

On another note, I noticed there is a UK version of the N9 charger called the AC-16X (see attached image) but I have no idea if or when it will be released.

If you do, I would suggest collaborating in gerbick's thread as to not duplicate "list" efforts, as he seems to be the furthest along towards anything concrete (and Dubai is a possible source for him too):

Though I do have interest if his leads dry up and your canadian reseller sells to the US at a reasonable rate.

You are correct. Unfortunately, regardless of how we see it, those in charge at Nokia do not consider the N9 to be their flagship. It's more of a ghost ship.

Who wants to buy a Flying Dutchphone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Dutchman :rolleyes:

Worldwidevoltage.com in Illinois has the 16GB N9 for $629. Dunno how legit they are, but might be worth looking into.

Again... that's a $120 discount on the Expansys US price. Doesn't feel like something I'd want to throw my money at.

Also, don't mean to sound ungrateful or aggro, but didn't you just post this in another thread?

sadly true :( though being the most expensive nokia phone it cant be considered anything less than a flagship even if it is being scuttled by nokia themselves !

As easy as I find that to believe (and how sad is it that it's even a possibility?): do you have a source/link for that, or is it just a rumour?
