We were afraid that the Nokia N9 wouldn’t officially hit the US, but we were wrong. Amazon USA now actually has them in stock at their warehouse. If you’re a Prime member, you can even get it the next day for $3.99 shipping. Price for the Nokia N9 is currently $649.99, which is a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than a couple of weeks ago. If you’re patient, I’m sure it’ll go down a little more.

The timing is perfect since the Nokia N9 just received a firmware update to PR1.1. This update includes

• NFC tag reading to instantly interact with NFC tags
• Music controls on lock screen
• Photo and video shooting with color filters: black & white, sepia, vivid, negative, solarize
• More powerful multitasking with improved memory handling
• Swype for fast typing
• Faster MfE synch, synchronizing only active folders
• Noice cancellation reduces background noise so that your friends hear you better
• Close apps easily with swiping down, this now on by default
• New indicators for standby screen like charging and calendar

Anyone in the US grabbing a Nokia N9?
