Actually... I have to disagree fully with you. If Nokia USA was able to still accept and process orders, instead of closing up and leaving their sales to Amazon... then Nokia would have still had a process to accept payments, distribute the N9 just as they had with with Nokia N9. Very little to do with the US cellphone carriers. They've not sold subsidized N-series phones since the crippled N73 by AT&T. But Nokia's decision to shut down Nokia USA and Nokia Canada means that the phone invariably will not be distributed by Nokia directly, nor via US carrier. That's how it's been here in this North American market. But Nokia is at fault. They should have better sales distribution avenues and they do not.
