In UK and Europe the N900 is almost free with Vodafone (it is 29). No much need of marketing there...

The problem is in USA where there is no operator for N900, and actually only T-Mobile can carry it, but it didn't seem to want it.

With no operator in USA, no way of it having mass appeal. $600 is still not a cheap price. Now, iPhone 3G is only $99 on AT&T, that's a difference...

But for the unlocked segment N900 rocks!

Haha ^^


This is nice. All around the world N900 is top seller device!

Luckily i preordered Aug. 29th. So i will surely get mine, without beeing afraid that it's outsolded. But its so hard to wait till mid of october...

I want to pre-order one too, but I am still on fence about it: can it cook, wash dishes?

Reminds me of the times when N8x0s were in the top 3 of the sales charts @amazon.com during the holiday season ... afterwards, there were rumors of exceptionally high return rates.

i wouldn't count many pre-orders as an indication of the real success of a product (although i do, of course, hope it is going to succeed).

Probably many people wouldnt think that they cannot use it as a phone :P

I know I just saw 3 guys on Engadget show having trouble finding the keyboard or opening the phone... I don't go in details about simple scroll gesture, they simple couldn't use it as anything... this like in that question: why do you need 3 Militia-man to screw a bulb in the socket?

I think many people are afraid of high end devices, I saw someone from slashgear "trying" to use the n900. It looked absolutely ******ed, ... You shouldnt make a video of someone trying to use a device... ^^

Yep, 3 engadget-man to screw a light-bulb: one will go onto the table and the others will just rotate the table

Who gave them the Nokia mobile computer phone, when iPod is enough for them?

Yeah

Anyway, I think, having a touchscreen, especially resistive (for stylus) combined with a good querty keboard WITH arrow keys, ... is the best combination an advanced user can get!

One month ago, i had the HTC Hero, wanted to play GBA, but, ... no keys to map. Onscreen keyboard was good, but by far not as good as a real keyboard... so i sold it...

By the way: Look at the price of the iPhone in germany, ... 1049€ ... and some guys were complaining about the price of 599€ for the N900...
