2) The 'think' we are technical group, no programming experience but reasonably technical.

3) The not so technical users, 'oh I like that phone' or 'shiny shiny....' group.

Obviously there 3 > 2 > 1. Every company wants group 3 & 2, but none can survive without group 1.
Companies in mosts cases pays for group 1, FOSS being an exception of course.

Just want to add something,Nokia now even in falling mode (Elopcalypse) holds still as I believe the second most recognised brand for the masses(outside USA) in the mobile-industry behind Apple and Samsung closely behind.
IMO if Nokia wants to avoid every risk that comes from putting all eggs in one basket they need to push N9/950 as much as they can in order to survive a potential WP debacle before losing their brand recognition-> Only chance for us to get dual-core and all the goodies
