Yes, but customer is always right! :P

Doesnt apply.

Nokia KNOWS they will shift these units regardless.


They everyone tranced up. These 300 people that have bragged on how good the N900 is was a very good marketing/advertisement scheme as not only do you see hyped up reviews that pull in the masses but giving Nokia the ability to listen and perfect the device.


It's a win/win situation.

Only if they actually deliver the device to us! :) hehe - otherwise its a marketing ploy for a device that will be outdated before the rest of us even see it :)

Ha ha I think you'll find that the "customer" is somewhat more important to a business than the "stockholder". It's nice that you imagine yourself not worthy to lick Nokia's shoes but it's certainly an unusual view for people trying to decide whether they're going to give their €550/$550 to Nokia, Apple, Motorola or HTC.

People have choices and Nokia needs customers a lot more than customers need Nokia. If Nokia refuses to adapt itself to what customers want, egged on by a few die hards, it's market share will continue to diminish and in a few years time "Nokia" will be a brand owned by HTC.

Actually no they don't. Nokia already discovered that when it gave it to 300 testers they had feedback significant enough to delay the device.

The N900 is a nice platform but to compete with the others it has to get a lot of things right. It's a new platform dropping into a market with several well established and popular platforms (iPhone, Android) and to attract people to it will not be easy.

The average person will look at the N900 and say "Where's the turn by turn maps?" or "Where's the application the remembers where you parked your car like my friend's iPhone has?".

Per my post in the other thread - he won that device at a meetup, it's not a production supply-chain model. it was shipped to him by Nokia HQ direct from Helsinki.

Err your forgetting that Nokia is counting on the open source community as well.

Nokia HQ is in Espoo, near Helsinki :)

In map

But I think this is a good sign.
