You can check N9 availability here: http://europe.nokia.com/find-product...k-availability

So much for "working their asses of to get that phone out there", more like deliberately limiting supply lest it should prove more popular than WP7.

Sometimes, the weak bully knows he can only pick on the other bullies in his own territory. To their credit, this might at least help them lessen the weakening of their brand SOMEWHERE in the world, even while consumers in the major markets begin to react to the name "Nokia" with "Oh wow.. I remember them!" and "Isn't that those cheap pay-as-you-go phones?" *shrug* I'm not sure what Nokia can do anymore to help themselves without yet another drastic change of strategy to undo some of Elop's decisions.
