Hey guys further to the N9 not been released in certain countries.
I have a friend who works in a Vodafone shop, he told me the Nokia rep was coming to the Poole area to talk to various networks about upcoming handsets.
Basically he (Vodafone)and others O2, 3, Orange all got told the N9 will definately not be released in the UK. I spoke to a couple of the other reps in O2 and 3 networks and they got told the same thing

On a brighter note my mate at Vodafone did say that Nokia are releasing a Tablet next year Q1 which in the reps own words "will be different to anything else on the market" something will apparently be announced middle of next month August.
