I believe that only few hundreds who are still owning this device. It is a device for developers not for normal users. Although in maemo there are some developers who have the patience to help other users but in general the developers don't want to explain the steps that the user should follow to install an application or to solve a problem.There are two killing features in smartphones: Video calling and navigation that Nokia N9 is missing. This device has no application for video call and Gtalk is abandoned by developer while it should be updated continuously to avoid changes made by Google and that what happened. The application stopped working after google changed video call to hangouts. Although this device has a good navigation app (nokia drive) but in my case there aren't maps of my country so it is useless and nothing was done by developers to add another source of maps to nokia maps. The two companies Nokia and Microsoft lost their reputation because they do not support users. Nokia N9 is a case of not supporting by Nokia and Microsoft. Nokia store closed. Microsoft replaced Nokia store by Opera store but you cannot find support for N9 in Opera store. Microsoft don't want to add video call capability to its skype app on Nokia N9. Thanks to friendly developers in Maemo and openrepos.
