In relation to that the numbers discussed here for the N900 look very small!
I don't believe anyone ever thought the N900 could compete with full fledged phones that have a working commercial ecosystem. (Which, in case of the iPhone, was established before the first iPhone was announced.)

Nokia competes with the iPhone with their S60 models, and if my last numbers are correct, they're still far ahead with Symbian.

What's surprising for me, though, is how almost mainstream the N900 seems to be in spite of its limited phone functionality and high price. Yes, I would have expected it to sell better than previous tablets. I would not have expected it to find it, say, among the 10 most popular Nokia handsets @ flickr.
