It's pretty hard to make an estimate of how much they'll sell by 2011 if we don't at least have their sales for november and december.

Nice to put a number on things though. I'm glad you brought up the topic of an sales estimate though. I've been doing some searching myself of how many units they've sold.

I Think this phone is just to establish the mobile tablet device into the cell phone market and introduce maemo5 to the community. I'm pretty sure from here on (now that the rebates are gone) sales will go down. I think maemo6 is going to change everything though. I'm pretty sure because it uses the cross platform qt development platform and supports capacitive touch it'll have a lot more appeal to consumers and developers alike.

Why do I have the n900 if I don't think it'll make too much of a impact on the market for the time being? because maemo6's qt technology will be cross platform that means software built for maemo 6 can be easily be applied to other platform, most easiest, probably to our's, n900's maemo5
