They won't announce at all how many N900's has been sold, ever.

Because, right now, it's still their most powerful device. We, here, know that it wasn't intended for massive use; so it would be reasonable to us that it sold, let's say, only 1 million compared to the 10 million of the 5800 and N97.

But would you expect the media to be so reasonable? Hell no. They would only quote the lone number and blogs would explode in orgasmic posts about how the top offer from Nokia fails to match the combined sales of the original iPhone, 3G, 3GS, the projected sales of 4; how Nokia's only chance of regaining the top now lies in tatters; etc etc.

I'm with Nokia on this one.
