Let's compare sales of the two devices and stock prices of the two companies. I'm not trying to troll here, I'm honestly glad that you and that other guy got your N9 preorders.

I hear preorder amounts in like... 20, 30 per store, if not higher. I'm in a smaller city and the preorders for something like Gears of War 3 was over 110. The local Apple store had over 1000 preorders for the iPhone 4S.

That doesn't say that the stores aren't nice or nicer (not sure how the **** that got pulled into the train of thought) or that Nokia doesn't have the stock - apparently they don't have the 64gb in numbers or people wouldn't be repeatedly looking and asking for them - but you're talking about walking into a store and buying a N9.

Try that in America. Or UK. Or Germany. Or France. Or Canada. Or Japan. Or Mongolia.

I'm being far beyond honest with my statements. The distribution of the N9 is as silly and uneven as the idea of lining up overnight around the block for a mass-produced device. But one means high as heck sales, one adds frustration to your purchase convenience.

We'll have this discussion next year when the Nokia WP7 devices have been released. I want to see the sales. The Mango update isn't making a dent in the US sales yet. It's doubtful that Nokia can save WP7 - and no, I didn't make a mistake on this one, it's not the other way around.
