If this is true... no wonder why Nokia never published their sales numbers.

At Nokia they are quite happy with it it seems

This Reuters article claims the N900 has only sold 100,000 units since going on sale:

We haven't seen any numbers direct from Nokia, afaik, and nobody is sure what the Maemo Garage download numbers really mean. I am curious as to where Gartner gets its numbers. Anyone have any idea?

"Sales have substantially exceeded expectations," Alberto Torres, head of Nokia's solutions business, told the Open Mobile Summit trade conference in London this week.

Ehh? madness....

Not really madness. Nokia never pushed the N900. No ads no nothing. The N900 was an experiment if you will. It was never intended as a flagship product. The N97 was.

I think this just proves that Nokia views the n900 as a niche device and not their flagship

Agreed ^^

Never intended as mass-market, as here - http://bit.ly/9ZQS1v
