Ha, I actually deleted my post after reading the manual. From what I've heard you still want to make sure your wides are coded or selected in the menu.

the 12mm looks horrible ^^

It was my first thought when the M9 was announced-damn-I sold my 12mm!
I think the hood might be an issue-even the stock CV hood might vignette a little?
There is no doubt it will not be as great a lens as it was on the M8-but we are talking 12mm rectilinear after all, and not absurdly priced.
My bet is that it is not as bad as these samples seem to suggest. some extreme corner funkiness notwithstanding.
The new 15cv focus coupled is another one I am dying to see full frame.

Lloyd,
VERY sorry to hear of your M9's problem. Hope they can take care of you with another M9 faster than what they are telling you.
Wishing you the best,

Thanks GlennB. Much appreciated.

Good to see that the M9 preserves the "Leica glow."

C1 is coming out with 4.8.3 tomorrow that supports the M9 files and has some other improvements as well . Plus Snow leopard improvements , can't wait. I am already loaded with SL now
M9 with 50mm,640iso.
What I really like is that you can manually slect the lens and therefore use all kind of uncoded lenses, like my old 35mm Summicron for example.
DOF is even shallower and therefore focus shift, frontfocus etc. even more visible (from my first experiences).

Lloyd -- just in case you want to know what was going on with your sensor --
I had the same thing happen with my DMR. I was finally told that it was a hot pixel that receives too much voltage. This causes a cascade down the whole sensor line, leading to a higher luminance. These hot pixels can be mapped out -- basically they just turn off that sensor site, and the chain reaction stops. Then they just have the software make that pixel identical to the pixel next to it. You can't do that at home though. But I think you were right to return it -- you should not have to deal with that in a new camera.
Mine looked like this and appeared spontaneously on this image after about 8000 photos with the DMR. It did not go away:
