Your impression does not match what most reviews and users say.

Main material is cheap plastic and so does it look.
In fact it looks like the plastic is a place holder for the real body.

Mine is out for delivery today as well. I ordered the Black 16gb on sunday night . Let me know if yours is starhub branded or not and i will let you know as well.

You don't see pink phones or electronics every day, but I'd say it looks slick rather than chintzy.

The PVC exterior feels really solid and nice to the touch. Jamming my fingernail in it, it has a tiny bit of give - imagine those very hard rubber bouncy balls you may have played with when you're a kid. It doesn't feel as rigid as, say, a PVC pipe, and the material has a nice, grippy texture to it that feels good in my hand.
The feeling of it being a solid 'brick' of material is quite different from other phones where you can press in on certain areas (e.g. the center of the battery cover area on the n900) and feel give.
I'm really not one to worry about a phone getting scratched up - of course it's going to be your precious baby gadget for the first month, but at a certain point it's a tool that you use to get stuff done. My phone's usually in my pocket. It'll get dusty, but I've never had any really damaged phones. Even the relatively fragile screen of my n900 is in great shape after almost 2 years of abuse, so I'm really not worried about the n9.
Hope that helps give you some ideas!

The included silicone case is quite good as well. I've been passing my phone around and most people don't know that there is a case on it.

stephan, the material of the body is not plastic it is polycarbonate and the color is not painted on, it is that color throughout.
Maybe you'll like to google for the difference between plastic and polycarbonate.

Some interesting comments "It is, to some extent after February 11th, a concept car" -- No kidding. I bet Peter is not entirely happy about the fate of the N9.
edit: btw, Peter Skillman seems like a really cool guy
WTF!!! FIRE ELOP! Make Skillman the CEO!!!

However, there are always some lemons out there... my understanding is that Negri will work with you if you have a lemon. Their way is to have you ship them your N9, they ship you a new one, and if they find the old N9 actually was a lemon, then the RMA is done, but if you were just an idiot then they will ship you back the working N9 and charge you for the one they shipped previously, so you'll have two N9's. Not ideal, but, you know, we haven't got much choice.
Point: any warranty longer than about 2 weeks for products known to be reliable etc. is superfluous IMO.
