The fact that you fail/refuse to understand that a company would want to do that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Seriously, get over it.
Oh no... I totally get what you're saying.

I now cast doubt on the people that are arguing about what Elop is doing, has done because now they don't have a true platform to stand on... it wasn't meant to sell in record numbers because expected sales being capped at a certain level.

Even I have to eat tons of crow (read: show humility) due to my multiple points at mismanagement and lack of marketing in the past.

It was never meant to sell. So once this chapter goes dark, that was a decision made years ago. Maemo lived, did cool things, died due to management decisions.

So the N9... with that aforesaid, will sell whatever it sells. Nokia has no expectations for it. Meanwhile, they're gearing up with a $130 million dollar campaign to sink into Windows Phone 7.
