Each operator in each country only has so many “slots”, and they divide those up between ourselves and our competitors
Ultimately, the operator makes all decisions about which products they make available.
I don't understand, here in switzerland i can buy every phone on the market on contract with every carrier. Is it different in the UK? Or did operators reserve "slots" for the N900 when it was released? I doubt it. Advertising is a different matter of course.

By the way why should carriers in sweden, switzerland, austria, italy, australia etc. be more interested in the N9 then those in the UK or germany? Sounds like a lie to me.
