But here's the thing I don't understand -- if I had answered that question with a simple "No comment on future plans" (as is the traditional answer)t then I (and my employer) get flamed for not being open enough or communicative enough about our products.

I gave the most honest answer I knew to give, but if you want to apply your filter of cynicism to it, fair enough, you're more than welcome to. I just want to make clear that it really was an honest answer and not meant to mislead or be deceptive in any way.
Good for you. Please note that I actually didn't accuse you of all the things you mention, just that I offered a "slightly" different scenario as background of your words.

Also, your reply wasn't that much different from "No comment", since it all sounded waayyy to marketing-speaky to the cynical ear.

So I guess we'll see it when we'll see it. Not that your answer included even the slightest hint at a time table, or was even vaguely positive, but hey! I'm supposed to not be cynical towards Nokia, so rock on.
