Way too simplified this, but what is more optimistic? Harmattan is far from dead.
JUST STOP.



No, really, just stop.



For Nokia to sell even a million of these, they would have to produce a million of them. If you believe they will produce a million units, you are, sir, the only one person in the world who does so.

Nokia isn't selling this phone, they're hiding it. You claim it's being sold throughout Europe. Not throughout Western Europe, it isn't.

Amazon sells throughout Europe. Let's compare.
There's an Amazon.co.uk - UK is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.fr - France is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.it - Italy is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.de - Germany is missing from the Availability list.

Okay, so in no EU market large enough to be mentioned on Amazon.eu. How about the rest of the world?

There's an Amazon.com - USA is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.ca - Canada is missing from the Availability list.

HIT: Oh, Amazon.cn might one day sell the N9. If you're comfortable ordering in Chinese.

There are 196 countries in the world, including South Sudan and Taiwan. The N9 Availability list holds 24 countries.

There's no North America, there's hardly any Western Europe, there's no India, there's no Africa, they're not going to put it out for sale here in my puny little northern country, and guess what...

They aren't calling it an iPhone killer. There's your hint right there. There's not even a viral marketing campaign going on.
