Well this has certainly been an interesting and quite odd topic to read though as the posts are all over the map... but I'd be inclined to believe (and unlike some in here I don't have any insider knowledge, just my personal business experience) that the reason they're not in the European shops/have been firesold off is simply to clear stock. Could be anything from a new tablet (maybe, but I doubt it considering they N810 JUST got released) to a simple upgrade. I mean, come on, who really thought they were going to keep selling N800s loaded with OS 2007 on them guys?... Could be as simple as "get rid of the existing stock at a good price to garnish interest in the product, then relaunch with new software and targeted marketing".

Of course the other thing to keep in mind is that damn infamous WiMax that everyone brings up from time to time... Europe is a far better market to do a launch of a WiMax product in than North America for example... lol you guys think Verizon and Sprint are annoying, try dealing with Bell Canada or Telus (lol half the time you can't even threaten to switch to another carrier 'cause there isn't one that gives you coverage!).

The bottom line though would be that Nokia knows they've been ahead of the game with these ITs for a while now; this year all the buzz is about more "touch screen portable devices", so they've probably got something up their sleeves to keep themselves ahead of the curve. However, no intelligent company willingly drops a profitable product until it becomes blatently unprofitable, and the sales numbers of N800s (along with recent popularity) should be proof enough that there's a future here...
