Chuck the Swipe interface from the N9 on them to wow and seduce the punters, and allow these devices to be "unlocked" or customised by the community like Android can be (think cyanogenmod), and there may be a real chance for them to be very disruptive in the market.
Proverbial "nail on the head." And rumors are that's roughly what their plan is.
Cept we don't yet know much about the unlock-able or readily hack-able part.

Never gunna happen while MS's their primary partner.
Maemo 6x for bottom-end up to mid-end, if we're lucky.
And WP for their top-end down to mid-end devices...
