Is it readily available to other retailers/resellers/telcos etc?
Or is it only available in Nokia Stores? (there's prolly only a handful in the entire country)

It seems that the white's availability is being deliberately constrained.
That happened with the other models for at least 1mth when the N9 1st started shipping.
Particularly the black 64GB... It was put down to "ramp-up issues" (GTFO of here).

Availability is still fairly poor in Australia, especially the 64GB model.
It picked up for a while, but it seems to have dropped again quite a lot.
I suspect Nokia Australia will announce the L800 within the next mth.
