My last few units (9500, E90) came from Dell and Nokia. No problems with those.
But coming back to N900, what I understand is there is only one version/model (the one with the English keyboard) for all the places?

So, would it be possible for me to buy the device in US and register it as an Indian unit? Actually, I am planning to do that but will this method work? Any light on this would be helpful.

Not to forget that N900 is not yet available in India and I am not sure, if the Nokia service centre would be any helpful IF the need arises! Atleast, I would feel safe this way!

Btw, did anyone try the bing discount thing that microsoft promotes?
If that works:
1. The deal would get still sweeter by another 5-10%
2. Microsoft would be promoting maemo aka (a variant of) linux

There will be models available with different keyboards for each region Nokia will be officially selling it. This only affects the hardware keyboard, though.
The software keyboard and system language can be changed to any language that is available in the firmware. There will most likely only be one firmware for all regions and you select your language when first switching it on.

Nokia's not listed as a Bing cashback store.
