Gerbick, unless you own stock on these companies, why the fvck do you care how much they've sold? Speaking on behalf of myself, I don't give two sh1ts about how much a phone (or any other product I use) sells. These companies don't care about you or me or anyone like you and me. They will just as soon screw you over as they would sell you something. And a lot of time the two go hand in hand. You wanna know why these companies won't shut the fvck up about how much they've sold? Because it's a dick measuring competition and whoever has the biggest dick has the biggest share price. I don't care if I'm the only N9 owner to ever live. I don't care if I'm one of the "next billion" N9 owners either. I just want a device that fits my needs. If that device happens to be the wildly successful iPhone, so be it. If that devices happens to be the motherfvcking BANANA PHONE, so fvcking be it. I'd buy a god damn RAZR if it did what I wanted.

I understand your frustration, I do. But do you, as an owner of several Nokia Internet Tablets REALLY care about sales? I suspect you don't. But don't fool yourself into thinking this is about sales or lining up or anything like that.. We all knew what we were getting into once they announced the N9 wouldn't be available in most of the world. We're playing the import game and most of us are losing. At one point I actually cooked up the idea that Nokia was actually slowing production intentionally. Then I realised I was getting too involved. But enough of this bollocks, buy what you want. I'm getting an N9 and it's (MF) DOOMed OS. Sales numbers are for shareholders and tech "journalists"
