But it wasn't the final step - they're pre-production phones built for showing off and developing on. They still had a boatload of work to do before firing up the factories for a full production batch.

Cannibalism of N9, I don't believe so.
If you have the choice of selling 95 000 copies of a newspaper, or 100 000 copies of two similar newspapers split roughly evenly, what are you gonna do? Smart companies don't cannibalise sales of their own devices.

You don't produce 90,000+ devices
Where did you get that figure from, out of interest?

And the fact they aren't selling them to anyone period also raises eyebrows.
Not really - Nokia don't want their name on a phone they're not willing to back with a Warranty.
