So if the N9 really did outsell the Lumia by a margin of 3 to 1 in Q4 of last year, then Nokia have some serious thinking to do. The Lumia has had more advertising, and was launched more recently so you would expect it to have sold well.
I find it very odd that Nokia won't release the sales figures for the N9 & Lumia... This further suggests that the N9 outsold the Lumia
did you see 3 / THREE millions N9 sold in Q4 2011 anywhere?

Yeah i did. Can't link you as I'm on my phone. Even if it's just 50% more though, that should still be ringing alarm bells for Nokia as to whether ditching MeeGo was the right move to make

Different people prefer different things, companies make poor decicions from someone's point of view, etc. nothing new there. btw, what difference does it make how many N9s/lumias/etc was sold? Nokia has moved on to other things than maemo/meego already. If one doesn't like the new direction it's time to move on.
I'm just happy all my maemo/meego devices still work so it gives some time to wait if some vendor chooses to produce a hackable toy that I like.

Nokia should fire their board of directors. They hired Elop, fired OPK, listened to the bad advice that has Maemo where it is now.
Get rid of the problem. Also, get rid of fanboyism too. Fanaticism has never yielded anything profitable - Apple excepted.

visionary maybe?
which is not, quite, the same thing
even though having a vision may require some obstination, borderline to fanaticism

But at least they buy the Apple stuff in large quantities. Can't say the same for the Nokia fanatics. They buy one, declare it the best, never buy anything else...
N900 forever!

i'm not saying this is a good marketing policy
