Not surprising considering its OS was killed on launch

But on that note Lumiaman, how about the 2 price drops in a month for the Lumia 900? THAT mustn't be selling either ;)

It doesn't seem to be a general price drop, just a company that is celebrating having temporary price cuts

The problem is that the built-in browser doesn't support plugins (like Flash), and it's closed source - so hacking in Flash support probably isn't an option, INCEPTION notwithstanding. :(

Luckily there's Snowshoe and Oleg's (Romaxa) efforts* for more native/extensible browsers :)

*but his is even less advanced than snowshoe last time I checked

Nah it's just not selling that much any more, it hasn't been selling very well for ages now.
Despite what some delusional people are saying....
By the end of Q4 it'll definitely no longer be actively distributed, probably sooner.
There will still be stock dreggs, but no more active distribution...
Ofc selling way worse has little to do with with it being a much poorer device, far from it.
The Harmattan team's done a pretty remarkable job delivering what they have.
Esp. since they're now downsized almost 100% since Feb 11` instead of increasing slightly.
And esp. since there's no follow-up devices nor aggressive program to expand the Qt ecosystem in the past 15mth+
It's widely agreed that Maemo6 is more functional than WP7.5* (fluidity/stability not so much)
So one can only imagine what may have been with far more conviction from the top.

*See the countless articles at MNB. Ofc that doesn't mean it's a better device.
Built-in functionality/utility isn't as important as other things for many users.

Dont think so. If it was selling that well, the value would hold up.
