Finally had to remove the word that misterc calls the Lumia

The fact remains that N9 was rolled out more than one month before Lumia. So much for the lie Elop told the Board that Meego can't save Nokia in time.

The clear choice for Nokia given the position the company was in. They have to make their decision work now although I agree that the incentives are unsustainable. The N9 should have been released a long time ago, that would have made all the difference and then we probably wouldn't have seen WP7. Elop forced Nokia to fix all known bugs and push the N9 out. I was referring to the other Meego devices that were in the pipeline though.

1.9 % market share for
that's not even only Lumia devices;
that's Samsung (the nbr. 1 smart phone manufacturer, isn't it?) HTC, LG and probably a couple others...
how much was it Q4 2010? not that much more, but still more... WITHOUT Lumias

no matter how you try to wiggle yourself out of it, claiming that is the salvation for NOKIA doesn't even qualify you as fan boy anymore... bigot, at best

I did read the statistics including his post, I'm not denying the way the cards fell. The decision to go WP was made before the N9 was completed. No one could have predicted the N9's success. Unfortunately they've made their bed and there's no turning back. I never said it was the Nokia's salvation, although I do hope it is, for Nokia's sake. Maybe if it is, the company will be in a more comfortable position and we will get another Harmattan device. The Lumia at this point in time is a failure in comparison to the N9, I hope that changes although its not looking good. Name calling.... really??? Thanks for the warm welcome

1st it was @ 595 bucks, then around 550 and now... 495
and you can get one for a 100 if you are willing to pay the provider more then a 1000 bucks over the following two years... for that amount, i'd have a serious look @ the N950 that was for sales on eBay.co.uk the other day for... 1200£
plus shipping

We do have the N9 here officially although only in black. And all our carriers dont stock the 64gb variant. So there's no chance of getting the WHITE. Jari from Viestimaa shipped abroad even though their website does not cater for it. The last I checked ebay there was a white for 1589$ that's just ridiculous. I paid 820 euro in total, which is also ridiculous but it was the only option available to me and I wanted it real bad
