The play's 360 price is way, way too high. It's just a mono speaker fergodsakes! The BH-111 on the other hand looks nice. Does anyone know if it supports NFC? Would be a nice bonus but hardly necessary.

Now, as for the price of the handset itself... I'm starting to get a little peeved. The whole N9 affair is probably the second most badly fumbled smartphone launch in 2011 after the pre3... two months or so after the phone was announced and nobody yet knows the price or the launch date? Reeeeally? In the meantime samsung has released, with little fanfare or fuss, multiple phones, several of which trump the N9's specs in the eyes of the great unwashed, and preaching them for the degree of openess of the Maemo/ Harmattan over Android will only get some glazed looks.

Frankly, it appears that only the TMO and some other FOSS and Nokia sites even remember this phone, and this vague defiant mooing emanating from this forum is the only discussion it gets. Meanwhile, everyone expects with bated breath the next Samsung octacore and the iphone 5. I'd really like to see some heads roll over this. Preferably Elop's and some of the other dinosaurs in the board.
