Where can somebody find sales numbers for Nokia?
 
Google is failing me; however I'm curious to see the numbers for the N97 in terms of sales.

Thanks in advance.

Erm, thanks. They don't seem to want to answer my phone call.

Manufacturer usually don't publish sales numbers unless they set a milestone or break a record and want to do the neener, neener, neener dance in the competitions face...

In the US you can sometimes extrapolate them from the new subscriber numbers reported by the service providers. This was relatively easy with AT&T and the iPhone. With an open channel Nokia phone, not so much. :)

Here's some numbers from http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q1e.pdf


Quote:

Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device industry volumes in the first quarter 2009
increased to 36.0 million units, based on Nokia’s preliminary estimate, compared with an estimated 33.3 million
units in the first quarter 2008. Our own converged mobile device volumes were 13.7 million units in the first
quarter 2009, compared with 14.6 million units in the first quarter 2008 and 15.1 million units in the fourth
quarter 2008. We shipped approximately 5 million Nokia Nseries and over 3 million Nokia Eseries devices during
the first quarter 2009.

Sales numbers for corporations tend to be something akin to Gollum's ring. They're so precious that you'd have to be Bilbo Baggins in order to find them. ;)

Nah, someone needs to fix the stupid US cellular laws first before Nokia will ever get any real chance to make it big here. If they were wise, they'd get the laws fixed so that it wasn't the cellular companies that dictated phones, models, and prices, but rather the OEM's. That'd open up a ton of opportunities in the US.

Plus I'm one who'd love to see his cellular service separate from his phone. That way I could move easily between phones without having to sell my soul to the devil every time. :rolleyes:
