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.
Just for the record, the "irony" part is not directed to Nokia, but to all so called "experts" that keep saying Nokia should do this or that and that they know better.

I remember Nokia World: I was also surprised at the way the N900 was heavily downplayed.

Now I understand why, there are many elements not ready for mass consumption. I am glad Nokia has been open about those, in fact.
