right now i would say the N900 looks like a expensive dev platform, not a customer device.
sad really, as the most creative developers is found among the customers going "hmm, it would be nice if this thing in my pocket could do X"...
The yellow brick road got an overpass... now its up to people to take it.

Nice to sell, but nothing to invest much into advertising.
the way i see it, t-mobile is using the android phones as an alternative to the hiptop (or whatever they are called), given how similar they are in overall software design...

I get the impression that the analysts are confused. Nokia probably doesn't care if the carriers install their own apps on the N900. They won't be able to cripple the OS, however, nor will they be able to force people to pay high prices for ringtones and such.

Why would you say that this is not a consumer device?
