Given the Elop drive for Wphone domination and that this is the first time
that I know of that Nokia has not disclosed sales figures either formally or informally. I think if N9 was less in sales he would of happily used it as a validation of the windows direction.
In Australia only two phones are listed by Telstra (biggest carrier) as country-wide phones
the N9 and a droid.(both on contract) I see as many N9 as N8 so hard to tell.
I dont know if the app store is necessarily a good indicator as the phone is so easy to use phone users can buy and not really use. I have two people at work who have had them for 3/6 weeks and havn't downloaded an app yet.
mostly all of the basics are there.

I think the Lumia 900 will be the one that defines the success or failure for
the elop strategy. If it does not get a premium status then I think it will be just another niche market.
