Re: So who will get it first
 
I'm not certain there's even an official N900 seller in Canada (sorry, Expansys.ca, that's just drop-shipping). I doubt we'll get it first.

Regardless, I vote for Canada (just like R-R). The improbability makes it cool.

we are also recognised as separate countries in the common wealth.

well, every austrian state has it's own parliament. that's just the federal system. (in the UK it's called "unitary state", but very similar to a federal system.)

and the commonwealth doesn't really qualify as "international law" either, it's just a loose combination of former english colonies. it's up to london to say who's on it in what role.


edit:
btw, does anyone know a good translation of the german word "Völkerrecht" ?
"international law" seems so generic...

the legal term includes just those 4 but the administrative UK includes many more, that scotland finaly says its independent fine but just regarding the UK gov, nothing else

I had history class in west yorkshire a while ago... they where blaming everything on germany while it wasnt even close to effects.. germany had exactly the same problems for the same reasons, so did many other (and I am not talking about WW2),

end of class

nope.

"While "countries" is the commonly used descriptive term, owing to the a lack of a formal British constitution, and the protracted and complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom, the countries of the UK have no 'official' appellation."

true

its so disappointing to see that "truth" depends on the country when it comes to blame someone

Why are you all diverting from the OP's question? Rather than arguing what is what, just try guessing if you don't know the answer to his question...

I must guess, UK is getting theirs first because nokiaUSA still says "End of November" on their site. This is just my guess.
