If you don't deliver to some countries, like the Netherlands where people want to buy one but can't, you can't expect that sales numbers are high. And of course that they stick to sell there phone through an operator. They forget: 1. There are potential Palm buyers who have already a contract with another operator which don't expire soon. 2. There are potential Palm buyers who don't want to switch operator. 3. There are potential Palm buyers who want to buy the phone without contract because a phone without contract and a loose contract are mostly cheaper. 4. Not all phones bought by an operator finds there way to customers if these customers are the above mentioned. That's why Android does it better. If you want one, you can buy one.
