Apparently comprehension is tricky because my query specifically asked about sales in Finland, NOT the US.
Why would I ask about Finland and not the US? Could it because we have plenty of sales data about the US but I can't, as stated, find any data about Finland?
Get it?
No, he was right, comprehension is difficult for you, you claim to be a long time Apple user, but by now you should realise that Apple doesn't provide localised information like this.
You mean Nokia's "smartphones." Because you can't talk about a lot of Nokias so-called "smartphones" without putting quotation marks around the word. It's a joke.
ok then, what features are missing from those "so-called smartphones" that mean they shouldn't be called smartphones?
here's another example of a mismanaged company. Like GM it had Market share most companies can only dream of and it squandered it through inept management!
What was the phone before the RAZR? V60 or something...I remember admiring how small and high tech it looked. And the model before that Michael Douglas used in 'A perfect Murder' My wife had one of those for years!
Sad, sad!
Actually it is the U.S. government that is killing business in the country with its over regulation and taxes. Why do you think all of the Apple products are made in China?

Because American workers are so lazy that they want enough money to buy food for their families after working all day? I hear the Chinese will work for what we would consider to be slave wages.
And the manufacturing externatalities can be, well, externalized in China. Around here, we don't like used solvents being dumped into the rivers or burned in big pits out behind the factory.
Very few other companies could be successful with the same model. They don't have the same panache and they don't have Jobs. Without the hardcore, long time Apple fans and the more nouveau fans that came on board with the iPod, you wouldn't have the base to build and sustain from. Other companies have customers. Apple has fan, followers and devotees (and the cultists, never forget the power of the cultists).
Tukas please Apple always had it followers,fans, cultists etc., but that did not make the computer business take over marketshare from the other manufactures. Sorry mate, but Apple has customers from all parts of society and that's why it is a success. Apple have given the consumer something that their like and keep on liking. Its new, fresh and to be frank is overall stable phone.
Again 2 colours and 2 models thats what other mobile companies would love to do.

Hmm native at its best. Cost of living index, use it and compare countries. Btw many people in US would probably take lower wages, if the cost of living was lower. The cost of manpower in US is high due to cost of living. About pouring solvents into your rivers, stop being native, USA did same thing not so many years ago, but i suppose chemicals and solvents are different *sarcasm* and if I remember a famous actress (Julie Roberts) starred in that true life film.

No one is questioning that Apple's business plan, discipline and ability to design compelling products is largely responsible for their success. But it would be foolish to ignore the intangibles when discussing their success. Before anyone had bought an iPhone, it received very disproportionate amount of press, which had little to do with people's experience with the iPhone (because, you know, they hadn't used it yet). The multi-day lineups were because people believed in Apple to deliver a knockout.
Do you honestly think HP, Dell, MS or Palm could have been as successful if they had the iPhone? How about the iPod? I mean, because the HP iPod was such a massive success (and that is with access to a much larger retail distribution chain).
But yes, Apple is hitting on all cylinders these days, no question.

Want to bet in terms of profits Apple is in the top five?
I'm a consumer. That is of little concern to me. If this were a stock forum, the question might be of more interest.

Do you think that N900 is a joke?
you need to take time to read people's comments, he said lots of them that means majority, not everyone.
Do you think N900 will be the saviour for Nokia to knock iPhone from its success story, I very much doubt it.
