Not in the US yet... Should be shortly.
I have one. Hardware is nicer than the P800. Has new builds of the Symbian OS and UIQ. Seems fairly solid.

Expansys can get you the thing here in the US. I saw my first P900 a few weeks ago here in New York and I thought it was time to replace my P800, but the P800 is definitely very solid compared to the P900 (in terms of physical build).

Wait about 4-6 months... you'll get one for half what they're going for now. Or, if you want something now, get the P800, save the other half of the $$$ you would've spent on the P900 now and get that when the price drops.

Yep, it looks great, but like most high end phones, I can't use it.
Why?
Because it's got a camera.
I have to work in a lot of secure environments that don't allow ANY type of photographic equipment. NONE, NADA. And no alternative but to leave it in the car, or leave it at the front desk.
I wish one of the equipment builders would put out a high end info/phone device without the games and cameras in it.

Totally my opinion. No games and camera please. I don't use these features at all.
But camera = MMS = traffic for the operators, they are the ones that love all these gimmicks and the more they love them the more they will order...
