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.
