Elop refused to launch the Nokia N9 in ANY of their primary markets. He refused to advertise the phone AT ALL.

Despite that, the phone sold several million devices and people were paying huge premiums (often $200-400 over price) to get it shipped from these secondary markets to where they lived.

The demand was there and Elop decided to kill it anyway. He also never released the second phone required by their Meego contract with Intel as I recall.
