Yep.

This thing hasn't even come out yet and we're already talking about it's a great thing that's guaranteed failure. That's just sad. The N9 actually had a chance.
The day after the N9 announcement, the Sea Ray "leak" sorta put a cap on what to expect for the N9 in regards to how Nokia was going to push it.

Then with the major markets being ignored, Nokia not giving an update that's worth a damn... did the N9 really have a chance? Or do we just want it to work out because we like what we saw?

It's not coming to some major markets, the US or UK or Germany so it won't be any sort of status symbol like the iPhone has managed to be.
Imagine the looks you'll get if you do actually score one.

Unless someone else picks it up, MeeGo won't become the ubiquitous universal platform that Android managed to be.
Intel has a word to say about that. MeeGo != Nokia. MeeGo is bigger than that. What needs to happen is that MeeGo needs to announce a different, more supported handset.

Its too high priced and too high-specced to be a universal cheap phone.
High priced, but the specs are middle of the road really, imho.
