The Samsung Nexus Prime sounds like it's going to be even better than the SGSII series And out in freaking October.... http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/18/s...ch-in-october/ If pricing is just as aggressive... Then for most folk it's going to be unreasonable to justify the N9 over one of Samsung's offerings Then there's the juggernaut that is the iPhone 5... Plus there's rumors Nokia will announce all it's WP device/s before they finally freaking release the N9 anywhere! [in 2wks at IFA? conference] I find it hard to believe that Harmattan/N9 couldn't have been made buy-able at least 2mth ago. Cut some of the feature creep & add it in later, has worked beautifully for iOS/Android. SIGH......
