I think a lot of people are getting sick of ambiguous, hard to interpret statements Nokia is making, the promises that aren't, etc.

There is a real opportunity for Nokia to engage its community on this and other issues. If Nokia isn't going to make clear, unambiguous statements, then it should frankly stop making statements on these forums entirely.

My guess is there is no discernible relationship.

Not really madness. Nokia never pushed the N900. No ads no nothing. The N900 was an experiment if you will. It was never intended as a flagship product. The N97 was.
Vodafone and carphone warehouse both advertised as the ultimate webbrowsing device on both websites and instore.
Vodafones eforum had huge amounts of people desperate to get hold of one and users. They went on to back order several times i belive.
Vodafones sales people at least in the retentions department were bigging up the phone.
Plenty of Magazine and newspaper mentions which normally are just the press releases from Nokia and resellers I guess.
