First they try to cramp everything into a phone (PDA, GPS, camera, entertainment,...), and now that consumers have adapted to the 'swiss-army phone', they want to reverse the process and segment the phones? Who's going to INTENTIONALLY carry 2 phones for different functionality? I have 2 phones, 1 is a company assigned Blackberry, and the other is my personal N900. But in actual fact, I'd rather just carry 1 phone that fits all.

By selectively crippling their phones (ie removing functionality) Nokia hopes to introduce enough segmentation that you will buy both a "business" phone and a "multimedia" phone and hence increase their sales/profits.
