I wonder what will happen if, in six months time, a customer returns an N9 for repair?
Customer: 'I wish to return my N9 for repair.'
Nokia: 'We aren't repairing those anymore, as we don't have the spare parts. We can send you a new phone.'
Customer: 'A new N9? Cheers.'
Nokia: 'Yes. With WP7.'
Customer:
Grettings.

I thought Sea Ray was a WP7 phone.

bah... I had some long, thoughtful post that I wanted to share with TMO.
but instead, I'm just sharing an equally indifferent "**** you" back to Nokia.
so sayeth this American; land of none of your marketing, home of your horrible distribution channels...

When did Americans stop caring about competition and free markets? How come free Americans don't mind being screwed around by mobile phone carriers? I'm Italian and too many things are wrong in my Country but in the last 10 years the USA have grown similar to Italy in many ways - except in Italy carriers are bound by law to have "open" contracts. Peace to all Americans. Love your Country!

first we wait for the thing to be even announced after all that hiding, then wait weeks around for a confirmation date, and then find out its not launching here. Really nokia...you are not supposed to be making the same mistakes that got you here...I cant believe they are going to botch another phone launch.
... watch I bet it gets a delay or two right before September because thats the nokia way. I havent bought a non nokia phone for over 7 years now, but man a galaxy s 2 would hit that sweet spot right about now. I was going to get an N9 but all the directions are pointing elsewhere, I justified the hardware in my head even if it isnt the latest and greatest. However Im already hating how nokia is treating this product and I cant live for minimal bug fix updates.
