At some point, after i denied meego being symbian evolution, i told him i had an n900 and before i continued the sentence - which i ended up not doing it -, i could see on his face that he didnt know what it was. :-P

It was a weird experience and one i wont surely repeat. I enjoy sales people to know at least a bit about what they are selling, just so they can help me fill any blanks i might have about the product i am enquiring about.

When i decide on buying something, i always research the living daylights of it. I go to the store probably knowing more than the person selling it..and with this i dont mean i am smarter or more knowledgeable then him/her, just that i focused on that single product, while he/she probably has to know about tenths of products.

But this situation was laughable.

And putting it on a symbian stand can lead to very wrong sales places. Some potential buyers can be drawn away from the N9 just by that fact alone. I wonder if anyone else has approached the sales person with the same query as i did. Well, considering what people around me think about the N9, i.e. they dont even know what it is, i think they could put it on a windows phone stand and no one would notice. Not on an android one, though, since about android people know a little better. :-P

Its sad.
