Still a tad bit high from some other perspectives.

Phones here in Malaysia are typically unsubsidized (or are just marketed as such) - an iPhone4 32GB off the shelf would typically set you back by almost EUR616/USD840 (with a contract it is "marginally" cheaper but you end up paying a ton more over the course of the contract).

For a person in Malaysia, a "new" flagship Nokia (or any other flagship phone of another brand) at this current RRP is strangely cheap (IMHO).

There will be a mobile version of the new Windows 8 OS available early next year for use with almost any device using arm technology so even if Meego does not make the grade there will be an os available for the N9 and N900 next year.

Why do you buy from your country when you got Singapore on one side of you and Thailand on the other? both will be cheaper than what your having to pay i think.

Apparently he has that much time....

but of course wp7 it''s a flop. so they ****ed.
Well I & many others "predicted" that, doesn't mean we knew it was going to happen.
Eldar's not a prophet, if anything he's a hack writer & FUD merchant.

low shipment
How's that proven? It's still being released to a ****-load of countries.
Sure not some of the biggest economies...
But we have no idea what the sales figures will ultimately be.

If there's no local stock & it's not buyable in most (if not all) designated countries by 31/10.
And there's not at least some marketing for all of those countries.
Then I reckon it'll do poorly, but it's just a hunch, I've no idea how bad or okay'ish it'll do.

If it's not buyable before 31/10 in Australia, that's the final straw for me, I'm walking away.
No hard feelings Nokia, you just don't know how to deliver if delivery takes that long.

Did you not see the post I posted earlier?
Some Malaysian guys confirmed it's cheaper than the SGSII is in Malaysia.
For a RRP that's a nice start...

One angle to this N9 delay might be the "boat turning" that they have been making for the last two quarters.

Q2 & Q3 are supposed to be the bad quarters, and from Q4 onwards they are supposed to be in fighting shape again.

By releasing the N9 in around 1.10 they can get all those sales into Q4 to boost the difference between Q3 and Q4

If you'd been reading the thread you'd know Singapore's official RRP is more than Malaysia's.
Sure there may be retailers that are ultimately cheaper, but Malaysia's off to a very good start, lucky buggers.

Sounds nice, but at this point I'm just about ready to put a gun to Elop's head.
I don't care about his rosy quarterly figures....
