Support is only useful for the short term anyway, people upgrade at the least every 24 months (two years). I think we'll probably get at least a whole year of "support" for the N9, if not more as they are unlikely to release another MeeGo product until Windows Phone is stabalised in the market.
But how many is "a lot" when the N900 came out there was a big advertising campaign particularly by Carphone Warehouse in the UK and it was supported by the two big networks. However unless Elop comes out and says Nokia will support the phone and it is not the last Nokia meego phone they what network provider is going to support or advertise it?

As such I feel it will be lucky to sell more then the 92K units Eldar indicated Nokia would produce. If so an Android or IOS phone is going to look a far better purchase for most N900 users as at least they will support for 2 years and there will be plenty of developers producing apps and games etc.

I would love to go out and buy the N9 to replace my N900 when it is released however I do not want to buy another phone where the only support is from this great community .

Perhaps LG etc may produce a meego phone I could purchase or failing which I will stick with my n900 as long as I can.
