Is it limited in supply? Given you're in a supported country, you can just walk into a phone store, and get a subsidized N9 with contract. That was hardly possible with the N900, which was mostly only available in online stores.
In unsupported countries, the N9 can be bought in online stores. So, actually the supply situation is IMHO better than it was with the N900.


This remains to be seen.



The N900 started at 650 € as well. Prices are already falling as with most smartphones after a few weeks on sale.
Here not even one carrier is selling the n9, mind you. It is only sold through other partners, so it's rather expensive. It is, actually, only cheaper than the Galaxy S2 (since iPhone 4S isn't available yet).

The rumor about the number of units sold has been squashed, IMO, but the n900 had fairly good in number of units sold. We can be sure it sold more than 100k in 5 weeks (source http://www.phonearena.com/news/10000...-weeks_id11565)

The n9 probably took this long to produce this amount.

And at least you can be sure that supply is pretty good around here, Nokia stores and other retailers seen to have then in supply all the time. But at about U$900 it should be on the shelves
