When the N800 was leaked, it made my job extremely difficult. I understand the desire to see these seductive photos, but I also understand the desire to have them pulled.
You know what else works wonders for that? Brand loyalty and offering customers a reason to buy YOUR brand (support, parts, etc). I don't think all the leaked pictures in the world would harm a company that treats its customers well.
