And, indeed I do resemble that remark. But I do think that it would be good to somehow have "disruptive" in the device's name. Perhaps it might be good to have a fruit as part of the name too as that is a popular thing to do and might help sales. Let me think...

How about "the apple disruptor" ... kind of like iphone killer... no, sj would not approve... too many law suits. Not good. Hmm, maybe "disrupting mango"... no, mango is already taken by WP7 phone. I know! I know! How about "The Disrupting Tomato" Kind of like interupting tomato, but, you know, more disruptive. Hmmm... well, I don't know. After further thought, I may have stumbled on a better name for nokia's WP7 phone. Well, at least I tried, but without success. Suggestions are welcome (about the name of the device!).
How can the N9/N950 or whatever be disruptive? It is a dev-device at best, and as such cannot be disruptive because it does not even enter the market. There is no way the N9xyz can be the disruptive device.

IMO the disruptive device is a kick-*** S40, a multitasking Java platform + ecosystem that truly will disrupt the lower end much like iPhone/Android have done.

The N9 may also be shown, but not as a disruptive device. A platform for exploring/testing/research disruptive software technologies, maybe, but even a WP device will be more disruptive than the N9.

Disruptive != New. A disruptive device/technology has to disrupt the market, or it won't be disruptive.

Anything may be shown on the 21, and market dudes may re-invent the word disruptive only to make headlines, so who knows. I am not holding my breath, I am just hoping for Nokias sake that they show something disruptive wrt S40, or we may kiss Nokia (as we know it) goodbye. A kick-*** N9 would be incredible nice, but it won't disrupt anything, it won't help Nokia gain market share.
