counting maemo 5 only a bit unfair, it didnt have 500m marketing and it was killed less than a year after release with only ONE device supporting unlike WP7 that have samsung HTC LG bunch of nobodies. microsoft numbers so far are 2m shipment for Q4 and 1.6m Q1 which much less than ONE phone from a burning platnform (n8).
That's gerbick's line. It may be the truth. You probably remember that with earlier Maemo devices, Nokia claimed they wouldn't release sales figures because they were higher than expected, and Nokia didn't want competitors to know just how successful their Internet Tablet experiment was. If that's all true, then Nokia may have carried that policy along to cover the still slightly experimental, "step 4 of 5" N900. Without actual and projected sales numbers though, we're left with nothing more than a few vague corporate PR pronouncements. Fun.
