3.7 million for Microsoft WP7. Horrible numbers. Now, produce the numbers for Maemo 5. I'm willing to bet it was less.



I'd venture to say that Maemo 5 was a lesser seller than WP7 by only one reason... Maemo 5 was sold only on one product. Ever.

WP7 is a horrible seller, I won't argue that. Makes you wonder why Nokia/Elop went towards it, now doesn't it?
sold n8 sold 4m in the time it took microsoft sell 1.6m the N8 ALONE.

The only people who know the sales numbers won't disclose them, same as always.

I've asked tons. Nobody has released the real numbers, just that one quote that it sold 100k in the first 6 weeks - which... is great if true. But final numbers have never been released.

[ EDIT ] sjgadsby beat me to it.

Pretty sure they would have sold even more with meego on board.
I fear that with abandoning their own OS now, nokia will not be able to bring customers back to meego in the future. With a symbian to meego transition they could have taken lots of nokia customers with them, my guess.

Maybe they were too embarrassed? Microsoft has taken the same attitude about reporting sales and activation numbers for Windows Phone 7.

That's not really the point though, that's speculative figures vs the statement that Maemo outsold WP7 because S^3 sold more.

counting maemo 5 only a bit unfair, it didnt have 500m marketing and it was killed less than a year after release with only ONE device supporting unlike WP7 that have samsung HTC LG bunch of nobodies.

microsoft numbers so far are 2m shipment for Q4
and 1.6m Q1 which much less than ONE phone from a burning platnform (n8).
