I registered here in the end of May last year after a round of rumours about the N900. There's probably more accurate data about the talk.maemo.org member count somewhere in the logs, but I vaguely recall it being around 21000 at some point. It's over 32000 now. I wonder what percentage of N900 owners registers here?

Can't imagine it would be a large %. Well under 10. Maybe under 1.

They do actually publish platform data, like they did with S60v5 (and thus giving specific figures for the first device using a certain platform, this time the 5800XM). Why not assume that all Maemo 5 devices sold last quarter was N900 units?

UK - 1st
France - 1st
Netherlands - 1st
Poland - 1st
Sweden - 1st
USA - 3rd
Germany - not in the top 3
Spain - not in the top 5
Unfortunately this accounts for a wide majority of all N900:s sold everywhere, while only a minority of other Nokia phones are being sold at their website.

Well it is highest ranked on Amazons list of selling cell phones at the moment. That will say sin subsidize.

I don't know what that means since I guess that most users buy their phones with a service...

This german website says that 43 Million iPhones were sold since mid 2007...
Break it down to round about 1.4 Mill. per month...
In relation to that the numbers discussed here for the N900 look very small!

the iphone was heavily subsidized, heavily marketed, and it's target audience is much, MUCH larger than that of the N900.

also, the article doesn't say if those numbers are for the first iPhone, or all 3 combined.

I don't believe anyone ever thought the N900 could compete with full fledged phones that have a working commercial ecosystem. (Which, in case of the iPhone, was established before the first iPhone was announced.)

Nokia competes with the iPhone with their S60 models, and if my last numbers are correct, they're still far ahead with Symbian.

What's surprising for me, though, is how almost mainstream the N900 seems to be in spite of its limited phone functionality and high price. Yes, I would have expected it to sell better than previous tablets. I would not have expected it to find it, say, among the 10 most popular Nokia handsets @ flickr.
