I'm getting a bit pissed by the fact that the n9 is not going to be sold world wide. Leaving out huge markets like US, UK, France, Germany and India is just pure insanity, I don't get it. Nokia's third quarter result will probably be a big disaster with Elop still onboard so I'd think that Nokia needs the N9 to be a success.

WP sells terribly (almost non existent in Sweden) and Symbian Belle will help a bit but as Elop more or less officially trashed that platform it will not sell that much either. And the N9 being said to be the last Meego device what's left? S40 is rumoured to be replaced by Meltemi which is not yet even officially confirmed. You don't make that much money on cheap phones anyway. Nokia's future doesn't look that bright to me, not with the current CEO at least. Replace Elop with someone that has got a clue then Nokia have got a great asset in Qt but we all know that Qt is Microsoft's worst nightmare and as long as Elop is on top the current direction straight down to hell will continue, sadly.
