Nokia N9 finally up for pre-order in Australia, may let you down with a price of more than $850
The Nokia N9 debuted with much fanfare - after all it was the first Nokia handset with MeeGo, the operating system which everyone thought would be Espoo’s future before the Windows Phone adoption struck. After the announcement of the N9 and up until now, though, Nokia has done little to sustain some people’s enthusiasm about MeeGo - actually it has given them a cold shower by reiterating its firm commitment to WP and by leaking the Sea Ray prototype, a virtually identical copy of the N9’s looks.
So now, mere days before September 15th, the rumored date for the release of the N9, the Nokia N9 is finally up for pre-order at Australian retailer Harvey Norman.
Would there be many brave Aussies willing to close their eyes about that price and is it really worthit? Feel free to share your opinions about Nokia’s pricing policy, how you think that is tied to the N9, MeeGo, Windows Phone, the future of Nokia and the meaning of life in general. Yup, that’s as far as we went to trying to wrap our heads around that price - seriously, Nokia, $865 off contract?
