This "analysis" has clearly been bought by someone who's afraid of Nokia and the N900 in particular.

Buying "neutral" opinions is a fairly common competitive berhaviour. The best evidence here is that this "research boutique" is a no-name in the analyst world.

I order 10.000 copies of a "neutral" study from a small company and the study says what I want. In addition the "analyst firm" gets some visibility = win/win. Simple mechanics.

I did analyst relations quite some time and know what I am talking about.
