It is absolutely not clear, that was just some nokia rep. in australia, I mean come on. And "unless nokia changes its mind due to consumer pressure" could mean anything. The usual ambiguous nokia communication.

That part is funny:
In australia everybody loves the N9, in the UK they hate it, makes sense. "They" tell lots of bull.
They specifically said it will launch on every Australian carrier (Telstra, Optus, VHA) at the same time, which is in under 30 days.
They also said that Australia is a very key market and response has been very positive and even overwhelming. From what Nokia told me: Telstra, a carrier that generally doesn't care about Nokia products, actually called them up first to get information about it when they had first heard of it. Upon hearing a presentation on the N9, Telstra employees gave a round of applause.
With US, UK and Germany markets dropped, Australia is a primary market for this release and we will see a very large marketing push.

just got a SMS from Saunalahti (perhaps the first operator in Finland to introduce the N9) about the releasing of N9 is approaching and told me to check their new promo site for Meego N9.

Don't you know? "Country" is a metonymy and means either "Spokemen" or "Media"

IIRC those markets are still quite strong Symbian-wise* compared to the US?
So I assume they'd be good places in which to use Qt/Symbian to popularize MeeGo/N9.
Sounds like it's a case of regional headquarters not having the balls to say:
Our market research suggests this can do well, we'd like to push it, if you don't mind?
Who knows....
Weird thing is...
IIRC the market-share of Symbian in Oz isn't as impressive as some of those countries.
I guess that's why Australia's a perfect candidate; to small a market to matter if it takes-off.
Plus, the chances of it taking-off are less than some of the bigger Western markets.
*or were until recently, before everything that's happened.

WP7 has a 8% market share in Germany, and is definitely the core of nokia strategy in the US. So it does make some sense to focus on WP7 in these countries. Not so obvious for Fr, Uk, It, etc..
