A have made no claims for better or worse. I simply state the facts. The N8 and Lumia is more popular than the N9. Simple statistics. http://www.google.com/trends/?q=noki...ate=ytd&sort=1 And "surprisingly" Google statistics back up my simple observations. Still, IMO, Swipe is utterly clumsy compared with Belle or WP. That is my personal opinion, but one that seems to be shared by many. In that context, the N9 could NEVER be a flagship device. It would never outshine the N8 no matter how you look at it, and no matter how much you hate Symbian. That's the truth.
