Kind of, yes.

For instance, I'm not involved in the marketing. But take the N800 and N810, they weren't heavily marketed, in relation to how Nokia usually markets their devices. I (as a purely personal opinion) would have seen heavy marketing for them as counter-productive. They weren't ready for mass markets, on many levels, the UX being one of them.

If some John Doe would have been targeted and found by a N800 ad, and he would have gone through the trouble of trying to see the device and perhaps even buy one, and get disappointed over what he bought, it wouldn't have been very good for either Maemo or Nokia in the long run.
