So basically at the moment, it seems that the N9 is the darling of geeks (or gsmarena readers); so it'll be interesting how it will perform with the 'real' market when it launches.
The N9 has a lot of those, if not all in place. But given the silence, the gap in announcements, (continued) jumbled communication (sorry, those YouTube vids plain suck) and terms that most folks don't even care about... the N9 has an uphill battle. Clear, concise, communication with the user seeing the benefit and ease-of-integration into their daily operations and folks might buy the N9.
If they feel as if they have to create yet another account, or install yet another piece of software, or they have to learn a new workflow that seems alien to them... they will not buy it. Nokia hasn't clarified anything so far about the N9 to the average consumer.
And I fear it will continue.

it does look like android has an upward trend, but the most interesting is N9, huge spike when announced, but unlike N8, it did not sustain it but petered out.........hmmmmmmm....perhaps people do not want to jump on a dead end platform...doesnt bode well for N9
Plus there's been zilch saturation marketing all over the place. Just the occasional weird, unclear, "arty farty" crap....

Just release the freaking thing already Nokia, & back-it-up with clear & widespread/constant marketing.
It doesn't have to be the fracking Mona Lisa of software FFS!!!
Android was a steaming pile when it 1st came out, even iOS to some extent.
And even today after every major release they're often as buggy as hell for a while.
Learn the value of release early & release often Nokia...
There's nothing wrong with iterative improvements in the publics eye, they've gotten to grips with it long ago.
You don't have to release a great monolithic slab of software awesomeness.
Have some top-notch reporting smarts built in, get bugs/regressions solved faster than you ever would've internally!
But just get it out there, and into the consciousness of the smartphone user-base FFS!
What's wrong with more adds like this, far more informative
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfE3B6L-Otw
Maybe these weird adds represent impending release? (hahahahaha, oh that's funny)

So it seems it is not really meant to be a marketing campaign but more of a riddle to be solved:
http://www.n9seconds.com/
And I can't solve it. There are numbers, both regular and depicted as time, and these add up to six numbers, one for each 9 second clip. All I come up with are a lot of three's
Clip 1 = Time is 3:50
Clip 2 = Taxi reads 304 and 314 miles in the dash, license plate is DCA 578
Clip 3 = 3 in reverse ( mirror image) and time 9:15
Clip 4 = No idea, this is the boy on the bike...
Clip 5 = The number 1 on the girls etch a sketch
Clip 6 = Time is 3:34
Anyone better with riddles want to solve this. There are 14 N9's still to be won!

Ok I foundmore clues:
1 - The girl wipes away the letter S, drawn in milk, and the A in Taxi is different from the other letters
2 - No new things
3 - No news
4 - Boy on the bike has the letter N sewn on his sneaker,
5 - new news
6 - There is a date in that watch as well.
Also, the Taxi theme throughout the video, sometimes only the A is not lit, sometimes only the T is lit.

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:44.
It raises the stake for 3rd party content provider, that they also contribute in marketing the platform.
And the iPhone is also a fashion accessory, coming from a famous 'lifestyle' brand.
And because they have a very famous (& manipulative) 'visionary' in their organization that the press loves to cover.
etc
So basically at the moment, it seems that the N9 is the darling of geeks (or gsmarena readers); so it'll be interesting how it will perform with the 'real' market when it launches.
