Nokia should've/could've focused on N900 to make it better then what it already is. I certainly do hope they give N9X0 the attention.

Look at Apple (I hate them) but they simply have the most stunning marketing. They are focused on just one product (mobile), which they nurture, polish and it rewards them. Mind you it's a high risk business wise to do that (since they rely so much on the success) yet they ensure what they deliver is the best and it turns out to be really successful for them (so far).

I only wished Nokia had done the same with some of their devices if not all.

PS. I hate Apple and the iPhone more then Nokia.
This is worse than an apple to orange comparison. Apple makes the iPhone only. Nokia makes billions of phones, where the N900 and N8 are curiosities in the big picture, the same is the iPhone.

The N8 will be a huge success, there is no doubt in my mind. It will be the new N95, only much better and much cheaper, and also comes at a right time to take over for the hugely successful 5800. There is also a large demand for cheap qwerty phones, this is where the C3 comes, and will probably sell buckets more than the iPhone.
