If you mean in Europe, I have no clue what your prices were there - y'all got fleeced.

I guess since you've somehow overlooked every thing I've said so far; let me say it simpler. The N9 will be marketed to consumers if the plan goes forward as we've known it for the last 2+ years. If it's sold to consumers first and foremost, how will they market it? It has Linux? Didn't work for the N900. It has Comes With Music? Oh... that's real ****ing dead right now.

And if they sell it as a "phone" only, then you run into the same dilemma as what hounded the N900. Hackers, developers and geeks do not make for a blockbuster product or sales. So how will it be advertised?

And at what price? If it's at $749 USD for the 32gb version, then let's be honest. That's way too damn high.
Wrong again, don't mean to sound rude but I think you have ignored everything I've said, not the other way around, read the link I provided it's got all regions. If you were too lazy to even do that then I think the fact that I said $ which is a US currency should have gave it away. As for your other point, yes, I agree, $749 is too high considering the specs but I don't see how that relates to being the number one selling product in a given sector at all yet alone that of the console sector. If anything the iphone has already shown that, we don't need to look at another industry.
