My N900 doesn't get 3G here because the stupid monopoly phone carrier doesn't use the right frequency. N9 should be able to, I suppose.
What do you guys think? Would it be a waste of $$$? Should I wait for the next one?
It's looking unlikely there'll be a next one...
If you want there to be even the slightest chance there is a next one.
And if you like the phone just on it's merits, get it.
The only thing that'll sway Elop's mind towards a 2x OS strategy.
Is if it sells strongly in the markets it's been placed.

To get a more detailed picture of the N9, read the last several pages... at least...
I reckon it'll definitely "hold it's own" against muscle Android phones like the SGSII.
Provided Nokia don't artificially inflate it's price or limit supply worldwide, or deliberately remain non-aggressive.

So long as the cheapest N9 you can find, is only about $50USD more than the cheapest SGSII you can kind.
Then one can argue it's still good value. Even up to $150 is considerable IMO, but we need to see detailed comparo's 1st.
How well exactly it compares overall, we won't know until direct comparisons can be done.

Also if sticker price differences scare you off...
Maybe you'll be one of the lucky countries that has a raft of carriers supporting it?
