Zero advertising in North or South America. None in Japan either. All three locations were frequented by me during my travels in the period that the N900 was released.

And by the constant cries in this forum, the N900 was not a consumer device, it was to be step 4 out of 5; thus not consumer friendly exactly (and it wasn't).

The push in parts of Europe and (now it seems) Australia were not uniform nor helpful in its bottom-line.

Oh well.
