I can't help but read between the lines on Nokia's inexplicable embargo on sales of the N9 in all of the major markets. It seems as though it is a contractual agreement with Microsoft. There is simply no other explanation for it. Microsoft forced them to hold the N9 back in exchange for the subsidies and marketing assistance they are giving to Nokia.
