Nokia N900 has Sold Below 100,000 Units
Gartner today said that they estimate Nokia to have sold below 100,000 units of the Nokia N900 since its launch five months ago. Nokia’s previous top selling phone has been the N95, that was released in 2006.
Nokia sold below 50,000 N900s in January-March, while the iPhone has sold 8.75 million units during the same time.
A take from Reuters article:
The sales of less than 100,000 N900s compares with sales of 8.75 million iPhones in January-March alone.
The N900, which went on sale last November, is Nokia’s first phone running the Linux Maemo operating system, which analysts see as a key for Nokia to regain ground in the coming years.
In February this year Nokia unveiled a plan to merge Maemo with Intel’s Moblin operating system.
Nokia sold 50,000 N900s in the last quarter of 2009, and quarterly sales fell in January-March, Gartner statistics showed. Gartner does not track phone sales per model, but as the N900 is the only phone using Maemo, the statistics for operating systems show sales for the model.
