They had a N9 presentation yesterday at Elisa Studio in Helsinki. I visited there (didn't see the actual presentation) later in the evening and was able to handle the N9. Very nice and pretty much what I expected, swipe is easy and I am sure that N9 will be very popular. Anyway one other person asked about the deliveries and one Nokia person said that one of the (possible) reasons for the slow availability is that it takes much longer to produce N9s than the other handsets (several times longer). The physical construction (and production process) is quite different from any other current mobile. He also said that the demand has been greater than expected. At least the N9s coming for sale in Finland are being produced at the Salo factory. I was going to preorder one from Elisa but they had only the 16GB version available for preorders. Trying to get myself the 64 GB ASAP.
