Astonishing.

Maybe I'll go hang around outside Nokia World next week with £600 in my hand shouting "take my money"?

Expansys UK seem confused.

Certainly their website is still offering preorders and an availability date of 3rd Novemebr for 16Gb models. And that was confirmed in a phone call I had the other day (of course the girl at the other end of the call may just have been looking at the same webpages as I was).

But the tweet seems to be saying that Expansys UK cannot carry the N9 because Nokia are themselves not selling them in the UK. Given that the preorder webpage indicates that the N9's to be available on 3rd November are European models (with UK plug adapters) it would seem that this is hardly news to (some part of) Expansys UK, and that they will be importing their stock from Europe rather than selling UK models that we all know don't exist.
