Nokia's official blog says N9s are shipping to customers and stores right now — we're not surprised considering Nokia's launch countdown pointed to September 23rd. After the official announcement in June, we were pleasantly surprised by the N9's MeeGo OS. Obviously, we had been told in February by CEO Stephen Elop that the company would "jump" from the "burning platform," and partner with Microsoft to do only Windows phones in the US. The Nokia blog only pours salt on that wound, gushing over all the "buzz" and "huge demand" for the "amazing" device. If you live in one of the handful of countries to get the N9, the estimated retail price is €480 ($670) for the 16GB and €560 ($785) for the 64GB version.
