no need to change the title if posters here actually comment about the market share and not start another whine-fest

What an evil genius ... If only he would use his superpowers for good!
Oh, and with America's record on energy consumption (along with every other natural resource on the planet), I don't think it's too unreasonable for the phone to nag him into removing the charger from the wall socket after use - though admittedly, having it auto-disable this based on GPS/Locale for less 'gas guzzly' countries would be a great enhancement :-)
Mods - please change thread title to somethign suitably boring ...

I know this thread is going to close soon so I bought www.n900sucks.com
I'm going to update that website soon.
I asked for assistance from Nokia twice, and all I got crap. So I'm going to keep this as long as I can.

I'm glad that nokia isn't aimed to US market so it can keep higher level of complexity(you know, in developed countries complex means better). Anyway, it's funny how americans simplify everything so much that it's on the edge of usability/unusability. Enjoy your IPhone

Btw I'm not American at all. I grow up in Europe. This is not about Europe or America. Why are you guys are so f@#$% close minded?
I'm not an iPhone fun either. I actually switch from iPhone to N900. But guess what? They have better service, They have solid working phone. They have support. Plus they know what they are doing. I should have stayed with them. That's my bad.
Now I actually believe that my first title was appropriate. But for some reason it changed.

That 2% is for Symbian. The N900 is NOT factored into this chart, if it was, it would say Maemo and not linux.
Lets go even further: IF Linux = Maemo, how would you expect Maemo to have a large market share? The US cell market is driven by cheap carrier subsidized phones. Any OS or device that you can get on contract for $200 or less that has great marketing will have great market share. The MORE devices like that with said OS, the more market share.
Where does the N900 fit in that chart, NO WHERE! It isn't cheap and it is NOT on a US carrier or subsidized.
That is why Symbian has 2% as well. Only 3 Symbian carrier phones come to mind. 2 on *ATT (E71x and Surge) and 1 on T-Mobile (Nuron). I will venture to say that the 2 percent market share is MOSTLY Nokia Nurons as it has sold well.
Nokias US market share is going up, starting with the Nuron and next the E73 Mode. It will be $69.99 on contract when released. UNTIL it is released, to get a similar E series will cost the American consumer $300-500 unlocked and Americans will NOT pay that. But at the contract price, thousands will be sold and Nokias market share WILL improve.
Atlast, the amount of sales doesn't make a phone great. It is determined to be great before it comes off the assembly line. My N82 is a great phone and my N900 is a great mobile computer. User opinions may vary, hardware does not.
I hope you find the device and market share that is right for you.

That's what I'm saying. but I don't understand the part why people are here got too obsessed when someone says N900 sucks. Why just you people accept that?
First:
Please look at what the chart is saying. That 2% is for SYMBIAN! The N900 is NOT factored into this chart, if it was, it would say Maemo and not linux.

Nokia shares will not be go up anywhere in USA market with this competition. Like you said users opinions may vary but the fact is not.
Again, I don't really give a sh@# about the market share. (I posted that data because of some damn a@# here)
Thank you. I hope I'll find one and I hope I'll warn people who thinks to buy this phone.

End of, matey.
You "just wanted a good cellphone". So that would be why you bought a device that is not marketed as a cellphone and whose primary function is not as a cellphone.
Fail.
