Hi,
I just got a 64GB , black N9 from atgsm.com, and to my surprise it came a UK->US adapter in the package, because in the Nokia N9 box, there was as UK USB plug!!!!
How come? If the phone is not being sold in the UK, is there a UK plug in the box?
Unless, there are secret plans to release later.....?
I can post a picture for unbelievers
Cheers
P.
Or was the plug a separate thing?

The UK USB plug does exist for the Lumia 800 and is most likely available separately, too.
But since the British Commonwealth used to be large, I'm sure some countries where the N9 is sold, use the same plug. Maybe your N9 is from one of these countries? What does the box (and the language of the quick start guide) say?

British plugs (BS 1363) are used in hell a lot of countries besides the UK:
So the device can come from any of those places / was built for some of those markets. In addition to that, a very similar older British standard - BS 546 - is still widely used in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Nambia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Botswana, Israel, Singapore and Malaysia.
There is no British-targeted firmware available for the N9 so I guess your device was built for one of those target markets. The best way to know that is to check the product code under the micro-SIM tray and match it against the available firmwares.
P.S. All online stores selling the N9 in the UK claim that they are selling mainland euro version with an UK plug adapter, so quite similar to your situation but just in reverse.
The BS 1363 design is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, Botswana, Ghana, Hong Kong, Jordan, Macau, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Iraq, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. BS 1363 is also standard in several of the former British Caribbean colonies such as Belize, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Grenada. It is also used in Saudi Arabia in 230 V installations.

Alot of N9 users praise the "Swipe UI" however I personally don't like it.
Its too simplified and I don't like the conflict between screen swipes between the UI and Applications (like Fruit Ninja).
Nevertheless, it has been "cloned" to the iPhone by the Jailbreaking community.
And a similar attempt has been made with Android / MIUI ROM Theme.
...for anyone interested
