The N900 was mostly called a mobile computer that can make phone calls by Nokia, not a smartphone. Just becuase Nokia don't call it a phone, doesn't mean it won't be able to be used as a phone, then again you can use the Dell Streak as a phone, but would you want to?

Many things are patented that never see the light of day, and that was patented before Elop took over, I don't think we can infer anything from it.

Now, how about finding a different thread (or craeting a new one) for speculation on what Nokia will actually produce, and keep this one for what people actually desire.
