I believe you can't take into account the pre-N900 period. N770, N800 and N810 were not phones. They sold far less than phones and they never had always-on (gsm/3g) connectivity. So, all of them had very few users, developers, advertisement and potentials. They were also another kind of devices (Internet Tablets - Larger) that one had to carry along with a normal phone (read: not user-friendly).

I believe that N770, N800 and N810 sold a lot more that any other similar product. Intel and Asus for example seem to have abandoned their ITs (or Mobile Internet Devices as the called them).
