Take a deep breath, relax, don't worry!

If you want a N9, buy it online.

Be brave.

I dont get it...why not sell it everywhere let the people give you their money Nokia! Oh well may need to hit eBay up. Then again with Karams patches my n900 feels like a fresh new phone. I keep an Android device as a side dish. Best products Nokia has produced in years with the n9 and the n950 and one isnt being distributed worldwide and the other isnt even being sold. Bonkers man...just bonkers.

PS I am testing with 11 apps open and zero slow down. Also I am replying from the 900. I definately see improvement in speed.

@slaapliedje: regarding ST and Amiga, it was the lack of marketing. The Americans rely on marketing. If there's no or no substantial marketing, only geeks go out of their comfort zone in hunt of something they might be interested in, or what is deemed to be needed.
No doubt about that. Atari in their infinite stupidity thought that for whatever reason, that in the '90s they could go on selling their products via word of mouth, like they did back in the '80s with the Atari 2600 and then 8-bits.

IBM and Apple didn't really advertise all that much during the '90s either, but people were familiar with their products because of businesses and schools.

Actually, Atari Corp. was HEAVILY advertised back in the early 80's with the 2600's and the 8-bits back when it was owned by Warner Communications, just before Sam Tramiel bought the company from them. Sam was famous for being the guy that got the Commodore 64 out there and sold by-word-of-mouth... and once he bought Atari, he thought he could do the same. For a little while it worked, too. He turned the Atari 800XL/65XL/1200X line of products around from a chunky brown and beige device to a gray slant-slotted beautiful pieces of the 130XE/65XE/XEGS lines. It got advertising so some degree too, but once he handed the company over to his family (Jack Tramiel, famously) they ruined it by absolutely and COMPLETELY trying to run it by word-of-mouth and didn't even bother to support and listen to customers.

I remember a lot of that very personally and first-hand. I went to the AtariFests and I got to speak with the guys that worked there, including their spokesperson toward the end, Bob Brodie. Some of the same things were already happening here with Nokia. I saw it coming. Elop was unexpected to me, though. The previous stuff was like trying to drown a man with gasoline--Elop was like an unexpected passerby that sees it and happily whips out a match to light the drowning man on fire.

And if it breaks (like the N900 usb), have fun paying for two ways international shipping and waiting many weeks.. That if they will even honor the warranty.

Germany doesn't have a shiny history of importing from that neighboring country, tho
