@Jalyst

you fancy putting prices and links people are posting in the first post of this thread?

here's what i have for Ireland so far:

IRELAND
Nokia N9 64gb
Phonesonline.ie black €699 preorder. no date
Expansys.ie black price unknown date unknown
Nokia N9 16gb
Phonesonline.ie colours unknown price unknown preorder no date
Expansys.ie black, cyan or magenta €599 November 3rd release date.

edit:
maybe other people can post the links and prices they've found for their countries and we can have a nice list we can all use to benefit ourselves.
