Slow down buddy, got a source for such a bold claim?

The N8 sold less than the HTC Desire and more than the SI only for a short period near launch, definitely not the far more popular SII that released shortly after. This is from Inderes Oy, a Finnish research firm.

The N8 shipped 4 million at launch worldwide over a period of 2-3 months, These are the only estimates I've seen published. The SII shifted 5 Million over the same period and this is even excluding the US market.

by that alone it would appear the SII was a far more popular handset.

And what exactly is wrong with reading US blogs too? Even if you are implying that they are somehow subjective towards Nokia/Symbian they certainly would not make up sales figures so it matters not.
