I just stumbled over this (German) article, which also mentions the N900.
Nokia is still market leader, though.

To translate a bit for you guys. In 3rd quarter 09. Apple made 1,6 billion dollars revenue only with the iphone while Nokia only made 1,1 with all of their phones.

I think the main reason is the Apple tax on the app store and on the cell phone contracts.

This is hardly surprising news!
Have you even SEEN the iPhone contracts????
By how much are Apple milking people!!!!!!! Bunch of bloody conmen, selling people crappy H/W and charging them alot of money for the privilege.
the ONLY good thing about the iPhone is the web browsing, the apps address features that should already be included in the phone.
