I just can tell you that although my country was among the first where the N900 was available at all, I have never seen one single ad in any mass media (tons of ads for the N97 or the "Comes With Music" phones) or in the streets or even in media for people who're more interested in gadgets of this kind. - The only ads were those on the Nokia site itself. Not even the one single carrier that offers the N900 on contract is doing any sort of marketing for it. You see it in the online shop only if you search for it. The only media presence it enjoyed was reviews.
Other models you see in prime time TV commercials. That's marketing.
I'm not aware of any "huge fanfare" in other places, either. The Hong Kong launch was one event in a hotel. - I don't know of anything else. Do they have advertising there?

For the first time, the N900 is among the top 5 (most popular) Nokia camera phones on flickr.

Another interesting tidbit about Nokia's view of the N900:
Anurag Thakur, the Canadian technology marketing guy for Nokia, said the N900 is considered inside Nokia as a "developer phone" and it was never intended to go mass-market.

I wonder, Do they have any idea of what their marketing is doing for example in UK? Does Nokia have any idea what is actually happening inside them or around? What kind of management is that? Highly fragmented corporation with itīs every single arm doing what ever they want to do. Nice

The following link does not represent how often a device has been sold but you can compare how many internet sites write about something:

(here the comparison between Nokia N900 and N97).

...just 3 days later - down to 8 and - more important - the activity factor dropped from 5 down to 2.
