It's the same for the Saudis, India tried having access too. RIM basically bowed too often.

Well, the Saudis and India were first public bowings...

Given the British legislation on the subject, they had to bow (silently) in order to operate there. Saudis, India and a bunch of other countries demanded to have what others already had for some time.

Oh I know, but continuous access is still more convenient for the police than on-demand access. If you're not a suspect, you can get away with encrypted stuff, while there might be filters on the rest. Obviously if you're a target it won't cut it.

I'll stop there because actually I know nothing ..

I expressed my discontent for how they are just about to alienate all their loyal users to bring in new ones. I understand business is business, but i see no reason the n9 and wp can't coexist here in the US. Seriously, how hard would it be to just let us buy it unlocked online?

Here was the response i got this morning.
"Hi Joe,


Thank you for emailing the Nokia Careline.

We appreciate your interest in our product.

In response to your concern, we would like to inform you that the release date of the Nokia N9 is yet to be determined. Also, we are unable to guarantee if the said device will be available for purchase in the United States. What we can suggest to you is to frequently visit our website as well as our discussion board for more information on this matter.

We are hoping for your patience and understanding on this matter."

A glimmer of hope that a US version may come?
I had a very similar response for the UK! standard issue template! the only difference was mine said UK!

N9 is finally here!!! erm.. for who? Haha... the market that supported N900 end up not getting it. Don't think I have any working testicles left since Nokia kept kicking them so much in the last 2months.

Amazon.com has cover sleeve for N9. I feel bad for those guys. No one will be buying them

Yeah, that's why I came back to this thread too.

I saw the title 'N9: It's finally here' and I was wondering... N9 is here... Here? Where exactly IS the thread starter? Then I realized...

He's at the NOKlA duplication centre.
