Whatever the actual sales numbers are, they're clearly much better than Nokia projected. That despite, as I understand it, little promotion in Europe or Asia and none whatsoever in the US or the rest of North or South America.

Apparently so strong the N900 has kinda changed their strategy. Maemo/MeeGo is no longer a little-known side project for a small group of linux fans within Nokia and Intel. No longer Step 4 of 5 of a series of niche devices.

The N900 apparently convinced both Nokia and Intel there's a real market for MeeGo and to throw some serious resources into it as their future OS for pocket computing. If N900 sales numbers and most feedback were anything less than very good we never would've heard a thing about MeeGo. MeeGo is partly a result of the N900's success.

As far as actual numbers I'd wager the N900 has sold at least as well, worldwide, as the Nexus One. That's amazing!

Some data from the online high score table of my 100 Boxes game. This will not help guess the absolute numbers, but maybe the distribution by country.

In 5 months, 16,897 game scores have been submitted from 7,305 unique IP addresses from 135 countries. These are the top countries:

United Kingdom 19,1%
Finland 11,2%
United States 8,9%
Germany 6,7%
Netherlands 4,8%
Russian Federation 4,1%
Italy 3,9%
France 3,3%
Sweden 2,4%
China 2,3%
India 1,7%
Norway 1,5%
Saudi Arabia 1,5%
Spain 1,4%
Other 27,3%

Nokia seems to have corrected Gartner's numbers about "100000 N900s sold in 5 months". Engadget says they have received an update that it was 100000 in the first 5 weeks... So one thing we know for sure: Nokia sold more than 100000 N900s

I think it's true that Nokia did not sell too many n900's (just a quick question to english people: is it correct to write "n900's" or "n900s" to make the plural?).
Many people I know they even don't know what n900 is. They had never seen it before. In the region where I live (Italy) I could never see the n900 in hypermarkets or superstores (where the majority of people by phones). All the other phones (Nokia and others) are there, except the n900. The n900 is existing just in the Nokia shops.

Nokia's correction is still ambiguous. I would love to know accurate numbers.

True, they both could be right... after five weeks sales could of gone in the dumper and no one has bought one since.

Whatever it is, it's pro'ly less than a million because that number is sort of a milestone and we would have heard about it. Pride driven internal leaks and whatnot.

Crashdamage brings up a valid point about interest. If the numbers were disappointing we may have seen MeeGo corporate involvement by Intel or even Nokia slow or at least see indications that bets were being hedged. I am not aware of any of that happening.

But I really like fgs's picture of the pie regarding distribution by country. Particularly in countries where service providers have a lot of control over sales because of service contracts.

Many N900s (plural) have been sold. The N900's (possessive) power is what attcted me to the platform.
