2 N8
3,4,5... Some dead cheap Nokia dumb phones
6 or lower: N9

After Belle came, the N8 is so good that it altogether is the best Nokia, and hence the real Nokia Flagship. Most people have no idea of operating systems. They think Belle is some "Nokia Android" and live happily with the N8, taking beautiful pics and downloading tons of apps.

Personally I have grown tired of Swipe. A nice concept, but ultimately flawed because there is no way of organizing things. Belle is so much better, and so is WP in the long run.
No ****, prices drop, they drop dramatically over time compared to launch price.
Your argument has little-to-no solid basis, try putting some 'meat on the bones'.
Instead of making sweeping statements that "x is better", "people prefer x more", or "x is selling much better".
Then people might actually respect your opinion....
I suspect the 800's selling better now or will very soon, & LT will be selling much better.
But that has less to do with it being vastly superior, & more to do with Maemo6x's predicament for the past yr+.

Anyway, I swore I wouldn't partake in this debate, so this is my last comment in this thread.
I effing hate these debates, I honestly don't understand their point, they serve no useful purpose.
I have been in many (very different) online communities over the years...
And never have I encountered one which so voraciously turns inwards in such negative ways & so regularly.
It's understandable to-some-extent, but in-the-end it's utterly pointless & of no value.
