Right, since I was at Nokia World '09, here's what (from memory) I heard OPK say in the day one keynote:

So, watch the video of OPK's keynote at Nokia World '09 and listen for the reference to the event where he talked about the five-step plan.

However, I'm with Quim (roughly). The detail of any 5-step plan they had in 2005 has been upturned by the iPhone - and more recently Android and webOS. Yes, the N900 is not a smartphone "mobile computer" than my mum would use - but in the technically capable, non-geek, gadget-loving subset of the mainstream it's a viable competitor to Android and webOS - and may even pick up some wannabe iPhone users.
