I have yet to see a Nokia smartphone that blew its competition away. that's what people said about the N97 and look at what happened there? the N800 was supposed to blow everyone away, but then it gets overshadowed by the iphone and 90% of the general public goes "what's an n800?"

Even now when you say N900 to someone they're more likely to not know what you're talking about. Nokia is losing smartphone market share faster than my grandma can lose her glasses. And mindshare is just as important as marketshare..and what do people say when they talk about smartphones? iphone. blackberry. and "google phones" (android). very seldomly do you hear "maemo" in the general public (not talking about phone/mid/umpc/nokia geeks)
