I think it will be sold in US but it will be launched in Asia first, Asia is where the volumes are and they don't really care about the underlying OS etc, it should be good looking and be fancy and should be from Nokia, these volumes will generate them cash they need the most at the moment. Buyers in US and other countries in the west are bit fussy about many things on phones or any other electronic gadgets therefore if the Asian launch is not successful they will never release N9 anywhere else or maybe only through daily deals website if they have stock
