...oooor they work at Nokia.

Careful there, given the general desirability of the glossy-white unicorn, somebody might cap you for it :rolleyes:

Magenta or red as it's generally called, is a lucky colour among the chinese community. Look up Chinese New Year, everything in red, for good luck. The pink of the N9 is actually a nice looking shade of red. I dont think Nokia made a mistake, the red is meant for Asia region ;)

Is it not interesting that no votes from China in the country thread? I reckon they are in the chinese language forums

White isnt a popular colour over here, associated with mourning or death- no offense to those who want the white, white is more preferred in Western countries. Or even just plain practical, white easy to get stains.

They have some Lumia 800s I think on display or demo. I'm so gonna go in there and breakout my brand new n9 to see the reactions I get. Will update once I get kicked out.

Ok so I went to the Microsoft retail store grand opening, one cool thing was I got to meet Cal Ripken (legendary baseball player here in the states). So after that I go over to the Windows Phone section. They didn't have any Nokia phones, I start talking to the rep there and he starts going on and on about the Samsung Focus S, how amazing it is, how light it is on and on. The whole time I'm holding my n9 in my hand, after his pitch he glances down and is like omg is that the Lumia. I was like nope the n9 running harmattan/meego. He stutters a bit and asks to look at it. He starts playing around with it, and I can see he's totally into it. Then he says I can totally see the potential Nokia and Windows have. The dude has already drank the WP7 kool-aid so of course I don't expect him to jump ship, but the look on his face when he was playing with the hardware and figuring out the swiping on the software side said it all. All in all a fun visit.
