I personally think that Nokia don't know how to market this phone. It is kind of limited edition phone where even U.S. don't have it (a place where the phone has HUGE sales potential). Before it comes out, Nokia spoiled its reputation.
After Nokia screwed up everything about such a great phone, they are still selling it at a price of a dual-core phone.
I don't know what are they up to. I showed it to many of my friends. They were so interested but the moment they get to know the price, their mouth are zipped and *change topic*
Prophetic words from Gsmarena.

"If anyone is let down, it's the Nokia N9 itself. The platform is as good as doomed. Forsaken by its own creator. With Nokia giving up on MeeGo and a price tag that confines the N9 to a premium niche, it will be next to impossible for the OS to grow a substantial user base. Without users, developers won’t be too interested in MeeGo either. And the limited number of apps is the platform's biggest weakness."
High price and lack of Whatsapp are stumbling blocks to the growth of N9, not so much the lack of apps. Whatsapp has dealt a body blow to N9 by saying they will NOT release a version for it. Don't underestimate the power of Whatsapp, it can make or break a phone. Why did WP7 fail to take-off? No Whatsapp!
By the way N9 is not sold at the price of dual core phones, it is sold higher. SGSII is cheaper than it in every market including Malaysia.
As I said before maybe only Alien Dalvik can save Meego if it materialize. I would like to hear what our analyst Andy has to say on the future of Meego. Did I made an expensive mistake?
