When they introduced the N770 wasn't it part of Nokia's long-term strategy to eventually add phone features to it? I sure hope that it didn't come about because some bright spark woke up in the morning and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought "well we got the N810 and we make phones, how about adding phone capabilities to the N810 and call it the N900?"

Seriously, if they can overcome the objections of the beancounters (or whoever decides these things) to fund, develop and market the N770/N800/N810 then how hard would it be to do the same for the N900 which, you know, contains a phone, and phones are supposedly one of Nokia's core competencies and a major source of income.

Whilst Apple has been steadily addressing defects in the earlier iphones and adding new features to later ones (albeit mostly features that already industry standard) and Google has been churning out new releases of Android what has Nokia been doing? It had renamed maemo to meego and symbian^3 & symbian^4 to plain symbian. That is the epic fail.
