Which vertical OS are you referring to? Has Nokia ever said that for instance Maemo would be a vertical OS?
Just to return to this for a moment. I knew I wasn't hallucinating, ran across this when searching for some specs:


Intel and Nokia Announce Strategic Relationship to Shape Next Era of Mobile Computing Innovation

SANTA CLARA, CALIF., and ESPOO, FINLAND, June 23, 2009 – Further uniting the Internet with mobile phones and computers, Intel Corporation and Nokia today announced a long-term relationship to develop a new class of Intel® Architecture-based mobile computing device and chipset architectures which will combine the performance of powerful computers with high-bandwidth mobile broadband communications and ubiquitous Internet connectivity.

...

The effort also includes technology development and cooperation in several open source software initiatives in order to develop common technologies for use in the Moblin and Maemo platform projects, which will deliver Linux-based operating systems for these future mobile computing devices.
I understand 'new class' might mean something different, but that's the price of vague statements - people can and will misinterpret them.
