In the end, it's all come down to how well we network if we want to assist others in the majority of the locations that did not receive a version of the Nokia N9.
To date, I've only been given the 16gb price(s) via Nokia Mexico, not Telcel or any other carrier in Mexico. I'm not fully sure if those phones sold on other carriers will be SIM locked or not; however I suggest that being a question if you're looking to buy one from another region.
Also, it's starting to look like certain, if not all other languages that aren't meant for that region are going to cost extra. Such is the case for the Switzerland phones from what I've been reading. Not 100% confirmed, but if that is the case, that's the lowest thing I've seen a company do in a long time that's not named Microsoft - charging for additional languages is pretty damn low in my book.
As far as the non-answers in this thread, the long and short has come down to this - they can't do anything to assist, they won't do anything to assist, and feverishly looking for a Nokia N9 is not going to show Nokia or Stephen Elop that the demand exists, release it in that region.
I'm usually a patient person; however in this case I wasn't out there just for myself this time and it seems like Nokia has swallowed the Windows Phone 7 pill - upsetting to many, not so much to me since I already own a Dell Venue Pro - but it does complicate getting answers for this endeavor.
I'm still out for answers, I just know now that asking Nokia or any of their affiliates that might happen upon this thread have no interest or capability in helping people interested in this endeavor.
That's cool. I would continue with some harsh words, but there's no need to take any of it personal. Time tells the ultimate truth. Narrow, very narrow marketing and device deployment compounded with a very narrow acceptance might still have moments of brilliance, but it never lasts long... soon it too will fade away.
As of today, no confirmations than the aforesaid ones. Cyan is not slated for the first 45 days, if at all from what Nokia Mexico has in stock. 64gb is only in Black, alongside a 16gb version in Black. Magenta is only 16gb, same price.
No incentives for bulk purchases, as I'm not a reseller. But still pegging on how to accomplish that as well.
Still looking forward to a trip to MX City.
