Ah, ZA variants show up (also weren't in MyNokiaBlog list), including operator-specific variants for Vodacom and MTN. But, all 16GB versions.

I think Nokia has missed something here, they could have considered offering operators their own colours. E.g., Vodacom has been on their whole 'Red' campaign for the last few months, and I am sure MTN would take a Yello' if they had the option, but it seems they'll both get black.

Let's hope they drop the price to something in the region of what the E7 goes for (typically R185/month on Business Call contract, whereas an Vodacom pamphlet from a few weeks ago apparently showed the N9 for R285 on the same contract).

If there's not too much of a pay-in on my current contract, it looks like I'll get 16GB Black then ...

Ohhh looky there. Philippine variants. That's what I get for relying on a google link instead of downloading navifirm and checking myself.
I think most likely they have been publishing more region-specific and operator-specific firmware as the release progresses (seeing as they are doing region-specific availability).
