I understand quite well that English isn't your first, or perhaps second language.... so allow me to answer your assumptions.

I'm not afraid of the N9 being successful. In fact, I welcome it. But Nokia has done damn near everything they can to make even my original gadget lust and/or willingness to seek a N9 out for purchase to newer, lower levels. How so?

Nokia is letting me down daily by promoting WP7. I've been using WP7 for the last 8 weeks. I ran back to my Android phone because it's closer to what I want and need in a phone.

WP7 ain't bad. But it isn't for me. Maemo, well Maemo 5 could have been for me, but EDGE data doesn't entice me at all. Nokia N9 would satisfy my lack of 3G data via the pentaband radio.

But no. Elop & crew don't want to release it outside of small markets. Instead, they want to push WP7. Well, let's see how well the first Mango devices sell in Japan - they were released there, so far, nobody I know that's there even cares.

The same will happen in Europe - outside of Germany it seems where WP7 is almost 8% of their share there somehow.

Afraid of success? I've been here since the ITT days and when I had a 770. I want it to succeed. Sadly, Nokia keeps finding ways of making that harder and harder each time they announce something.

The doomsday treatment isn't just my own doing. It doesn't originate from me. It's a response to Nokia's shooting themselves in the foot each time they say anything about the Nokia N9.
