Let me say that I don't consider her quote negative at all. But I do see posts in the N900 forum that seem to think the N900 will be or could be a mass market device. I don't see it as that and I doubt Nokia views it that way either. While it may generate buzz, I don't think you'll see the sales (or the marketing campaigns) that you see for the G1, much less the Pre, and much, much less the iPhone.

I should also point out that when I said the N900 may not be long for the world, I meant that I would expect a redesigned N910 within the year.

Please note that I'd love to be wrong. More sales would drive the price down and might convince an American carrier to subsidize it.
