Nonsense. In the Elop China video and the other Nokia guy Malay video (both linket in this thread somewhere) it is all rather clear. Malay will get the N9 first, then it will be a staggered release around the world. WP will be released in different markets. You do unerstand what "different markets" means? WP will be sold in very small batches to start with, it is insignificant in the total. If the N9 is delayed due to tactical reasons, it is because Nokia do not want to sit in with millions of N8s. The 801 is also coming just after new year, and it will probably be a better phone than the N9 all considering.

Don't over estimate Elops trust in WP. WP phones will be released in UK France and Germany and Nl. If it fails there, it will be gone and replaced with Harmattan/Symbian. The chanses of failing though are close to zero by now, and only complete idiots cannot see that.

But things has changed during the last year and months. Apple has stagnated and will become a no issue within a year. Samsung looks invincible right now with their Galaxys, and SE is also on the roll with a damned good series of xperias and is gaining popularity each day (even though they have lost almost all their dumb phone sales). Gogorola will eventually take the entire android market, but not until a couple of years. Bada will eventually be on Galaxy type devices (but with a Linux core) and so on.
