You must be American - I understand that reality is optional there and should only be applied if it fits with the "correct" world view

How much is an iPhone? Go on - try really hard to get to a number that is near the truth. Not a subsidised contract number - but a real cost number. Is it more than or less than $700? OK - now how many iPhones have Apple sold so far?

So how do you conclude that the N900 targeted at a "very very narrow segment"?

Do you know that on CNET's home page there is not one mention of the N900 - the most significant new device from the world's largest mobile manufacturer in many years. They have 5 lead stories and 16 links to second tier stories and not one would lead you to any info on the N900.

No wonder the world has no respect for America.
