i still think the last code has something to do with the square root with a potato...
i've not ordered anything expensive from amazon before, usually only small things. Anyone have experience with buying new mobiles and other hardware? are they acting as the third party or is it a third party selling through them? it's not on amazon.co.uk or .ie :-(

You can read impressions and ratings if it's a third party.

Sigh, too slow for a shot at the final N9... oh well, Elop's torture continues 
I'm in Australia, there's no Amazon Australia last I checked.
But they still often ship to Australia...
There'll be other retailers in the UK to chose from though, so shop round.
It's not even 100% certain yet, that there'll be no carrier support.

Excerpt from the 2nd (Ars) article:
According to Strategy Analytics, smartphone sales are up 76 percent for the second quarter, up to a record 110 million units. Unfortunately for Nokia, its recent decision to dump its aging Symbian and upcoming MeeGo platforms in favor of Windows Phone 7 has left it unable to take advantage of this rising tide for the time being. Smartphone shipments for the company were down a whopping 34 percent year-over-year, dropping it down from the top smartphone spot to number three.
That left an opening for Apple to become the world's number one smartphone vendor by unit sales, capturing 18.5 percent share of the smartphone market. The company is already known for leading the market in revenue and profits, but topping smartphone market share in under five years—despite prognostications that the company would utterly fail in the mobile market—is still an impressive achievement.
However, Apple may not savor its victory for very long. Samsung managed to post a nearly unimaginable 520 percent year-over-year growth in smartphone shipments for the second quarter, largely fueled by the popularity of its various Galaxy S Android handsets. Samsung leaped from just 5 percent share in the second quarter last year to 17.5 percent this year, putting it ahead of Nokia and within one point of Apple. If Samsung can keep a huge lead in growth over Apple, it could become the top smartphone vendor next quarter.
Apple may have a slim chance to hold on to the number one spot, however. A highly anticipated hardware update for the iPhone is rumored to launch in early September. If the launch happens as expected and Apple's supply chain can meet the typical massive demand during the first couple of weeks of availability, it could be enough to keep up with Samsung. Around the same time, however, Samsung is expected to launch its competing Galaxy S II handset in the US—the company has so far sold in excess of 5 million of these devices internationally.
The overall mobile phone market grew just over 11 percent year over year for the second quarter of 2011, for a total of 365 million units, according to market research firm IDC. Growth has been slower than expected, perhaps due to a 4 percent drop in feature phone shipments. That's the first decline in feature phone sales since the third quarter of 2009.
