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?

Well I am sure Nokia Care has NO information to give U should probadly send this letter to some higher up in the "Nokia line". And MAYBE you will get a better answer.

What you got is no way an "hope".

**** nokia strategy ! engineers should decide what to do in a better world \o/
What Flop meant was WP in the case of Meego he want it to fail and thats why they WAIT to release it to make it look like its not yet ready.

Just make it available on the hardware already used by the N9.

His point was why not give users the choice between Searay/N9

I can understand why Nokia's doing this........
But they should still promise to offer it in retail channel with full warranty/support etc.
So US/UK users don't have to import from overseas, even if there's some better deals wrt price/warranty.

That's not an option. WP7 supports one hardware configuration, and that is all. And it's not what's in the N9.

Sorry, but you misunderstand what the guys orig. point was.
I'm aware that WP is designed for entirely diff. underlying hardware.
Try re-reading my prior post.
