Apparently asking for direct answers from Nokia about sales, whether or not something will be supported in the future is met with silence from them.
And being called a troll by the community. That's an odd position to put somebody that's used to open communication.
The former, discouraging. The latter, ignorable.

On the other hand, it is upto Nokia to decide whether they want the whole world to know the exact # or not. Some folks here may be associated with the 'mothership'; but if the big guy upstair does not want to make the info public, then folks here can't give out the info here(it would be unprofessional and unethical). I, for one, would like to deal with people who are ethical and all.
Cheers

He didn´t try to prove that. He talked about extras downloads, which you cannot correlate, at least not if you wan´t to talk up how many devices are out there.
Case in point:
I´ve got 3 N900´s here that I look after.
Mine accounts for roughly 500 downloads by itself (4 reflashes * 80 apps that need to be downloaded + running updates). My wife´s accounts for probably around 100-150 downloads. My fathers accounts for probably around 100-150 downloads.
So lets say it´s 750 total for 3 devices, or 250 per device. There have been 10 million downloads from Maemo.org repositories. These count all updates as well as fresh downloads.
Using these numbers, dividing downloads per device into the number of downloads, we end up with 40.000 devices for 250dl´s/device. If we use the number 150 downloads per device we end up at 66667 devices. If we use 100 downloads per device we end up at 100.000 devices.
So taking a swag, I´d say the number is probably not in any chance over 200.000. Most likely below 150.000.

Not really madness. Nokia never pushed the N900. No ads no nothing. The N900 was an experiment if you will. It was never intended as a flagship product. The N97 was.
Nokia had HUGE advertising everywhere for the N900 - every airport I went to for 2 months had Nokia N900 banners plastered all over.
Plenty of adverts - even in Financial Times (I have a scan if you want a copy)
So no ads? and no nothing? nope not at all - plenty of advertising everywhere.....

Am I wrong to assume you're speaking of advertisements in Europe? We saw little to none in the US, Mexico and Canada markets.
