It will give time to prepare more ambitious model (mobile computer a la N900) and start to work on second generation of consumer smartphone.
I think the strategy might be to create a developer-friendly keyboard device first.

This would attract the devs and help build up the number of 'apps' in the ecosystem and allow time to polish any rough edges before releasing the mass market N9 style device.

Effectively this would be what Nokia's Meego strategy was pre-elopacalypse (and before the rumoured production issues the N950 suffered from): N950 followed by N9.
