It is not a mass market device, so no point in mass marketing it. I was replying to someone whose post was deleted btw.

Conserning the update on this topic.. Would you mind changing the title, Engadget. I find it "a bit" important. Just that it's not 5 months, it's 5 weeks. Just a "little" mishap....]]>May 28th 2010 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/
@OP: Seriously, Ricker can't you underline all what you said up there(in case of not changing the title)?
you said 135k unites of Nexus sold in 74 days right? With the updated news, N900 sold 100k unites in less than 35days! That's a news for your information. You know whats else can be a great news? A series killer is hunting Engadget editors one by one. After got pissed from Engadget and decided to sorts them out. That's a news. I will even bet $10 that Joshua will be the first. :-)
I know these witty news brings money to Engadget, but if this continue then Engadget will lose its creditability (Whatever is still remaining).]]>May 28th 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/

some of the recent articles in engadget looks biased (credibility can be lost fast enough)

OMG...OMG!! is Engadget telling me that the Google "Superphone" with tons of web advertising (every other ad at one time on most websites I went to had atleast one N1 ad plastered on it) and gazillions of hype for months actually sold 50% less than the N900 which was neither advertised (web or otherwise) apart from a few YouTube videos and looks way ugly than the sleek svelte N1 - the superphone to end all smartphones?? Really? Really???

Well I guess then this proves pretty conclusively that tech blogs and the vociferous comments on them are mainly meant for geeks like us and the larger, richer, (and more importantly) paying public doesn't give 2 hoots.

Also I guess Google learned a lesson (hopefully with some humility) that making and selling hardware is not as easy as doing web apps hosted on your own servers and probably also realized why Nokia is so successful despite all the doom-and-gloom the tech blogs propagate. Basically, Nokia got the fundamentals right wrt worldwide marketing, customer support, distributor channel and pricing. Marketing is not about "innovative sales models" (yeah as if nobody ever sold unlocked phones thru their website before) and cool buzzwords - it is hard, in-the-trenches work and that is something Nokia knows way better than any Google. Where they missed the boat last time was the evolution to touch and this is what they are focusing on now.]]>May 28th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/May 28th 2010 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/nokia-sells-just-100-000-n900s-after-first-five-months-so/
I know, it must hurt to be on the opposite side of the fence. Normally T-Mobile customers have to buy GSM devices knowing only Edge will be supported for us.

How does that matter to you or I as consumers?

If I made 1 phone and sold it to Bill Gates for 50 billion dollars, would that make me the biggest, best and most relevent mobile phone maker on the planet?

How much these guys make does not matter. That's for the shareholders. Nokia's business model was never about making as much money off 1 device as humanly possible. Their ultimate aim, apart from making money, is to provide technology to the masses and in terms of both, they are doing that very well. IN fact they are the only technology company on the planet that has been able to execute that strategy and remain profitable.

Thank you for not taking Reuters' shallow analysis as the truth. This device is not supported by any carriers where I live, so people cannot even buy it, unless unlocked.
