There is no Philippine variant if you look on the list and I really want to wow my new wife. I don't want to be like, "well umm I really wish it was released over here and I know I promised I was going to give you my LG G2x but uhm,.... I really can't now because..etc.."
lame.
I want everything to go right, the rings, the vacation spots we will visit, our friendship/courtship.
Their family is really helping me out over here right after I got laid off.
Since the variant list does not contain a Philippine variant I do not believe it will be released there and even if it was it will be too late. I leave the 17th October.

I was going to buy it. But all the indications are that software sucks again
Plenty of people complaining about issues with email and wifi. N9 is another NOKIA fail
Normal email like hotmail and gmail works much better on the n9 than the sgs2 and the n8 its ridicolous.
Would you or anyone else who's bought the N9 check the software version and images are available for it? need an imie of an N9 to check what versions are available for download? well how do you reflash it if you need to.
The SW version info is 10.2011.34-1.320.01.2_PR_320.
Check out the N9 email problem thread
Why would you buy a device for $900 that can't even do email properly?
Again: no trouble with mail here.

For some reason my original post got put on block. Anyways, lets see if this works.
Thought I'd just pass on the info. from up here in Canada. I got word from Negri Electronics in the States that their stock of N9s should be in next week (already place my preorder
) and may still have room for a few more preorders. They ship up north, but using FedEx Int. Economy ($58 shipping for me). Their charging $705 USD, but looks like they only have 16GBs.
Also heard back from my preorder with Expansys Canada that they don't know when their stock is arriving...case anyone else was holding their breath.
Cheers.
Edit:
Just remembered their search system is messy, use Advanced Search with SKU NOKN900 to pull them up. Looks like I can't post links.

Ive decided to rock my N9 black 16gb until january, when I will consider getting a magenta 64gb if the price is right. (Not a reference.)
Few QUICK QUESTIONs for the developers here:
- Possible to add a User Agent changer to the browser?
- Possible to add FB notifications to the Feedscreen like SMS/Calls/Email?
Any of this possible to do?
Also: perhaps expand on the pulldownmenu thing up top, include a few switches, maybe a brightness bar like on maemo5, possibly a mobile data network toggle for trips abroad?

@ slai
Thank you for your information on the N9 so far.
One thing that worries me is the ergonomics in taking pictures with one hand via a software shutter (eg while driving on a bicycle) I do that a lot. And it works well with a N8 or N900.
iPhone 4S: you can now use the volume up button as a shutter when the iPhone is in landscape mode
http://infospace.ischool.syr.edu/201...ures-and-more/
I m not going to buy an iPhone but if the N9 would not allow for HW shutter anywhere soon , that would be a real let-down.
How is camera operation? Any customisation for HW Shutter possible?

I suggest you fly to BKK first then get a flight to your destination from there then you will have no problems getting the N9.
Thailand is indeed in a somewhat flight path towards Philippines. Normally the planes you take to the Phils as far as I know is Philippine airlines or Korea airlines.

Im sure theres no problem developing a way to use the volumerocker keys for taking pictures, or maybe the lockkey.
No way to set hardware shutter key in default camera, sorry
