Yea... I live in US and went ahead and bought one regardless. I will not get it till the end of March. So now I kind of selfishly hope a new one does not come out till 2015... Serioulsly, I basically want to learn about it and in the process make the current phone as good as possible. I actually have no more expectations. I could say that buying the current phone will help guarantee that the next version is made... but didn't folks say that about the N9...
