It seems quite unrealistic that the three major operators in Australia, plus operators in Norway, Sweden, China etc. would take on the N9 if Nokia were only producing 92,000 units.

I just can't see the operators wasting their time (and marketing budgets and retail space) on the N9 if this production number is true, so I highly doubt it is.

Eldar has been throwing this number around since the N950 got canned, and in terms of the N950 it's a much more believable tale.
