engadget updated their article

lookey lookey engadget didn't change the title. Now it is all over the web as false information

thanks Rauha
subtext from the artical

thats the crux of the matter and thats what im trying to say.... sod all the sales calculations and the bla bla. the phone was created with a single intention in mind. its simple

CN

In the first 5 weeks, the sales were hampered by availability, not by lack of interest in the device.

still... but 8.75 million iphones is a serious market share....
maybe that is the reason why businesses are so openly embracing the iphone... when i cannot even connect the n900 to my work vpn

funny how qgil got attacked when he tried to prove the numbers made no sense

That's pretty impressive actually.

Finland is full of Nokia fanboys like me of course, but you could not get N900 in your hands for the first month if you had not preordered that after you had wait again for the next smallish patch to arrive.

My guess is it have sold about +400 000. Probally doesn't sell much of anything currently thught. There are some good Android phones in a same price range.

Yeah I got that, but who told the corrected numbers to Engadget? They just say "we've been just told". Does this come from Reuters, Gartner?

The other point is, that the news of 100,000 units in five months is now been published all over the world. 95 per cent of those sites aren't updating their pages as quickly as Engadget is, if at all.

Maybe someone from Nokia could step up and tell the official sales numbers, finally. There's nothing to lose right now, in my opinion.

Do you mean the "rabid nerd" bit? I actually consider myself more of a psycho geek.

But someone from Nokia was willing to accept the 100,000 in five months figure, which seems to be revealing in itself.
