Other blogs which estimated N9 sales by deducting estimated Symbian sales and Lumia so-called "more than a million sales" from Nokia's smartphones total sales have come to the same conclusion - that N9 sold 1.8m to well over 2m.

Nokia did not give Symbian sales numbers for the whole year or that would give the game away but it can be estimated based on its declining trend. Assuming that Symbian sales are flat (which is unlikely) actually give sales of N9 as 1.8 million. Taking N9 sales as 600,000 would mean a big hole in Nokia's smartphone sales figures which cannot be accounted for by any other model.

Why is it so difficult for Lumia fanboys to believe that N9 outsold Lumia? Why is Elop so ashamed to reveal the real figures?
