Sailfish OS for the Motorola Moto G7 Power (XT1955-5) - (ocean) (4)
to SailfishOS by Maemish - 6 days, 5 hrs ago - more...
. I think Maemo6 is better name for this and maemo.org is right place to the n9/N950 be.

Also if I remember correctly, for the N900, lots of devices were distributed to developers at various conferences. This is not really the case for the N9.

I don't know, but I feel like there are (were) s few million n900s sold.
And only so much as a couple hundred thousand n9s. It is REALLY limited in supply.
I think supply was strangled so much that demand diminished instead of increasing.
That and the completely out of this world price.

In unsupported countries, the N9 can be bought in online stores. So, actually the supply situation is IMHO better than it was with the N900.

But it was confirmed as getting to normal capacity about a mth or so back.
See the epic N9 thread, was posted by a user who has contacts at soumi (the primary factory)
My mem's hazy, but it was up to about 6000/day IIRC, easily shattering Eldar's rumor of 92k.
These initial constraints def. did have an impact on pricing, & the fact that it was brand new on the market. (good street prices always take a while)
But there's no doubt pricing's been getting better, & availability's become way more widespread (for the 30-odd countries it's destined).
A kind of deja vu seems to happening for the white N9 though, hopefully it'll ramp-up very soon.

Friends, my purpose is not to demand anything from the Maemo community. If they do not want to transition to N9 there is nothing we can do about it. I just want to point out that the N9 is in danger due to very haphazard growth of the app store. Only massive sale of N9 can save the Harmattan platform now and for this to happen users expect to have some essential apps. Smartphone users are not a patient lot as there are so many alternatives now. I'm not demanding anything, I'm only hoping the Maemo community pitch in to help with their expertise and apps which can be ported over. Otherwise Elop will have an easy victory.

I would have thought about transitioning to an N9, if it were at all possible for me to get one on contract.
