Nokia KNOWS they will shift these units regardless.
They everyone tranced up. These 300 people that have bragged on how good the N900 is was a very good marketing/advertisement scheme as not only do you see hyped up reviews that pull in the masses but giving Nokia the ability to listen and perfect the device.
It's a win/win situation.

Does anyone realize that they are not a major stockholder for Nokia? Get over yourselves people, you are NOT the center of the world to them, nor to any other corporation for that matter.
People have choices and Nokia needs customers a lot more than customers need Nokia. If Nokia refuses to adapt itself to what customers want, egged on by a few die hards, it's market share will continue to diminish and in a few years time "Nokia" will be a brand owned by HTC.

The N900 is a nice platform but to compete with the others it has to get a lot of things right. It's a new platform dropping into a market with several well established and popular platforms (iPhone, Android) and to attract people to it will not be easy.
The average person will look at the N900 and say "Where's the turn by turn maps?" or "Where's the application the remembers where you parked your car like my friend's iPhone has?".

Nokia was doing all of us a favor by letting us know that they fixed the bugs they were concerned about and there was no more reason for a delay. Does anyone read the official releases anymore? Does anyone realize that they are not a major stockholder for Nokia? Get over yourselves people, you are NOT the center of the world to them, nor to any other corporation for that matter.
