I do not get your point here... All the time there is new hardware, of course the HW of N9&N950 is old, the devices were introduced 2 years ago, which means the HW design must have been finalized almost 3 years ago.
Also the HW of N900 is even older, introduced 5 years ago and still people are using it and claim it's the best device ever made.


I'd say it is not selling well because nobody makes good devices with physical keyboard any more. The models Nokia had always sold well. If there's no suppily, there cannot be any demand...
And what BlackBerry has or does not have is no concern of mine, those always were silly little niche products, available only in the USA, not in the civilized world.


People have needs you seem not to understand at all.
