i would actually think about an unlocked iphone4 but being it not a pentaband and only receiving EDGE on tmobile and not 3G, it's a turnoff.
My question on pricing for N9 is...since there will be limited quantity..will the prices really drop?
Also, we should all wait until end of month after Nokia World to see whats up their sleeves. maybe the windows mango phone will be really impressive?
If the nokia comes with mango to the states, will the phone still be unlocked or tied down to carriers?

Supposedly WP Mango Nokia devices are going to be hitting AT&T at some point. Maybe this quarter... maybe not until 2012. But Nokia's goal is for it to get into the hands of consumers through carriers.
I'm not completely against Nokia's Mango devices but I'm not sold on them either mainly because I know what to expect from WP7 anyway. It's just a matter of the hardware, and in WP7's case, the software limits the hardware in some cases which is what people refer to being locked down. Firmware updates will rectify everything, but right now I know I will enjoy Meego. The only WP Nokia device I'm interested in seeing is the rumored Ace. Keep in mind there are multiple mango devices coming from Nokia... not just 1. They want most of them on carriers, just because it allows them to get back into the hands of consumers. You can always buy unlocked, but in that case there's no point.

I agree. the one i'm interested in is the rumored Ace. If it indeed is what is rumored, I might considered that as well...but I actually like simplicity over apps or what not.
As of now, I use a Nexus One and I do not like it one bit. i think android is much too busy for a phone. The window platform looks cool...but i hear its a data hog and it also gets quite busy looking. Im not the type of person who is into apps...the only apps i use on my android is, fb, maps, yelp, rotten tomatoes and mail...so the N9 definitely satisfies it. I actually had the N8 before the nexus one and i loved the hardware but the software got me really frustrated. Constant lag, random reboots and not fluid at all.
Also, back in the days before android or apple came out, phones were distinctive and had their uniqueness to it...nowadays they are just a rectangular block with a big screen...at least the Nokia N9 is different and can be conversation starter between people when everyone out there has an android or iphone.
The only thing I want to make sure the N9 is good with is the email client and the speed of the maps since I use my phone frequently for gps.

Tomorrow (today actually) he'll been loaned a N9 64B Black from Nokia Australia.
And in approx. 7hrs from now, he'll be analysing it in great depth.

This is a norwegian unboxing video that also shows the initial setup. At 4:56 in the video language is the third setting from the top

From the N9 I just want good email, call quality, sms, maps, good browser, movie showtimes, fb profile pic sync, and maybe a sports scores app. Dropbox support would be nice too but not necessary as I can use the browser when needed or email. That's all I really use.

I can do without all the extra apps I've downloaded my iphone 4. I think the N9 excels in its built in functionality (and great multitasking which I miss) and the dev community is great at creating content that people will really use. It's what I loved about my N900. It was simple and effective.

You can ask the info hotline of mobilezone (+41 43 388 77 11) if there is some shop closer to you with all dummies or the actual phones. (but when i asked, they mixed up the dummies with the working N9s^^)
