That and the completely out of this world price.
Wrong, there was def. ramp-up issues in the 1st mth or so after shipping from factory was announced.
But it was confirmed as getting to normal capacity about a mth or so back.
See the epic N9 thread, was posted by a user who has contacts at soumi (the primary factory)
My mem's hazy, but it was up to about 6000/day IIRC, easily shattering Eldar's rumor of 92k.

These initial constraints def. did have an impact on pricing, & the fact that it was brand new on the market. (good street prices always take a while)
But there's no doubt pricing's been getting better, & availability's become way more widespread (for the 30-odd countries it's destined).
A kind of deja vu seems to happening for the white N9 though, hopefully it'll ramp-up very soon.
