He's being ridiculous. The polycarbonate is very strong and preferable to a metal body. Try to imagine a sippy cup that you give a baby - display glass aside, you could throw the N9 on the floor and you wouldn't know it after you pick it up.
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.
-a beautiful design does not demand to be hidden in an ugly silicon protector does it?
-my original Nokia leather carying case CP-553 is not compatible with the silicon cover. This is a silent hint that Nokia allows us to use it without the silicon cover and likes us to show of the beauty of naked polycarbonate and chrome.
-polycarbonate: fine, black polycarbonate better, coated black polycarbonate: worthy of a 700 Euro phone.
-the undampened noise when your fingernails touch the non coated PC sounds very cheap
-the touch does not feel luxury in my perception, and worse slippery
-Nokia phones need to be able to hit the floor hard in any direction
-no doubt the polycarbonate can hit the floor hard without deformation
-the screen however can't , read MNNM's post http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79192&page=2
On top of that the screen is curved so the screen will easily touch the ground. It will also touch the table when you put it down.
No problem a it is gorillaTM glass, right?
I have some reports to make about the screen quality.
But since the green under angle color cast does not seem to occur for anybody, only a few, I will not disturb any ones honeymoon days and go to the appropriate thread.
I wish everybody the pleasure of enjoying his / her candybar Amoled device but I don't think I am the only one that is a little bit disappointed that there is no alternative hardware version for people who Maemo on 1GB or RAM.

Hey guys,
I saw Cancom UK back in the thread a little while back but when I search on the thread it is not there now. Is it a scam?

They just told me they have a white N9 64GB in stock. I'm surprised because I didn't think it would be in stock for another few weeks.
Too good to be true? I would love the community's feedback before I pulled the trigger.

So yeah, I can't see how anyone offering a white N9 for sale right now (late October) would be able to deliver on that promise [and certainly anyone who does have one right now could not legally sell it]. That to me means scam or - if you're feeling charitable - an honest mistake. Anyone think different?

I won't be surprised if the white version's not available (in the nations the N9's being sold) till 2012.
It's in keeping with Nokia's plans to keep the limelight on their WP's.

I guess I'd also like to hear from the forum moderators how / why the post got deleted. Google tells me I wasn't crazy although I can't for the life of me find the original post.
I was about to pull the trigger on the black when I found out about the white. We're in Q4 so hopefully it appears soon. It'll be interesting to see where this was made, Finland or China because of the special glossy coating.

Actually there's no "work" at the moment, as we're still waiting on Nokia to help the community
Man I like the look of the white one, I'm tempted to wait, god knows I've waited for yrs anyway.
