Just saw the first lot of adds for the N9 in Melbourne, Australia. I may be wrong, but it was during Prime Time, and quite long. I'm not sure that much effort (and most likely expense) would be put in if there were limited units (i.e. < 100,000), but stranger things have happened with Nokia lately.

@Texrat, agree with you regarding your comments about generating demand. It's in Nokia's interest to not say anything, the fear of missing out on the next shiny new gadget is a powerful marketing tool.
