It's like the C7 is called the Nokia Astound on T-Mobile here.

Anyhow, doesn't really matter, since it supports both the T-Mobile and AT&T frequencies here in the USA, so even if they don't sell it here, doesn't mean we can't import it, right?

Can you imagine T-Mobile carrying the N9 in the US? Highly unlikely in my opinion.

I think the main reason Elop has decided that he doesn't want to release the N9 globally is that he doesn't want it to eclipse the WP7 phones coming out late this year and next year. So note that the US, Canada and the UK are left out of the release countries - I am guessing these are countries where Nokia really wants to focus on helping out Microsoft build market share.
