If they release the N9 at the same time as the Searay, the earliest that could be is Nov.
It could even drag out into Q1 2012...
If that's what happens, then I'll be placing my order for the no.1 WebOS & Android devices for Xmas.
6mth+ later I'll also buy a WP7x phone, but it won't be a Nokia.

Device details at developer.nokia says 1 GB RAM memory, & doesn't mention anything else.
Man that's the "straw that broke the camel's back" for me...
If it turns out the N9 also implements "RAM" like this, I don't think I can justify a purchase any more.
Especially in light of the possibility of artificial delays, & LT viability of the platform.

My N950 device shows 985MB of available RAM and 255MB of swap. As swap is compressed in RAM, numbers don't add up and that's expected too.
Oh thank god, I was about to blow a gasket!
