Nokia Ditching Symbian for N Series Phones, Using Meego Instead
Nokia sold under 100,000 n900 Maemo phone in 6months
Do you remember seeing them advertise the N900?
Neither do I. The phone was meant for a niche market-geeks- before going onto the mainstream. That's pretty good sales for a product that they never advertised at all.

Just begs the question where they think they are headed with this
...to make money. Just like any other company. Have you used a Meego handset? I haven't. And I'm not ready to dismiss it because all the kiddies can't look past Android/iOS4.

Actually, i had an n900 for several months. Great Hardware(as always), incomplete software.
Just as an example, they released a phone without any way to 'wipe' your personal data off it. [actually, there was a way but you had to run ubuntu and 20 commands later and finally reflash the phone]. Epic failure.
As far as profitability is concerned, Nokia is and will continue to hemorrhage in sales of its smartphones (internationally). In 2009, they sold 10% less than the year before. Smartphone sales used to be very profitable, but their earnings have been diminishing globally too thanks to blackberry, iphone, and android.
