A crime has been committed: Nokia: the N9 isn't coming to America originating article: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...t-n9-uk-launch
wait a couple more weeks and N9 is canceled...
reason is simple. The buildquallity of nokia hw is often better than crap androids even n900 with some broken usb ports sometimes better. for example give me one android with good camera as N8 and N9 (or even n900 sometimes). also N9 has nfc. NFC is a must for me.
If this rumor are true You americans should nolt blame Nokia. Blame your nice company named Microsoft and also the operators. Now I really hate Microsoft even more and hope WP7 will fail as hell in european :-(
When verizon switches to LTE(which will operate more like GSM folks are accustomed to) and the carrier subsidy/contract model is defeated in the US, then Nokia may have a chance here.
While the two carriers will be using the same underlying technology, called Long-Term Evolution, both will be using different frequencies of spectrum, the radio airwaves necessary for transmitting cellular signals. Verizon Wireless representative Brenda Raney confirmed to PC Mag that its phones will run on different frequencies than what AT&T plans to use when it launches LTE in five cities as planned this summer.
Out of curiosity, if there truly isn't a US version of the n9, what are warranty options on an import? Are we just screwed if it breaks? Seriously affects if and when i purchase. If it's impossible to warranty, that may be a deal breaker, i certainly wouldn't be an early adopter, that's for sure.
