Average costumer doesn't give a crap about open source or not, as long as "it just works"
And i hope N9 IS for average users, because else there is no future for maemo...

Just a brief follow up on a theme. I was wondering if a good name for the n9/n950/rm-680 could be "the disruptor" To me it sounds better than the previously suggested "ion" which doesn't sound, well, quite disruptive enough.
It also fits in nicely with the "burning platform" motif to maintain structural unity and continuity in these threads. Other disruptive suggestions are welcome...
N9Us,
by that logic we should have abolished the telephone (remember that device?) back in the 30's, because I can assure you my grandmother (back then in her average user age of 25) was flabbergasted (**** scared, actually) at a device that you could talk into and hear a response from thousands of miles away....

Well, hopefully this is not old news. My RSS feed reports that it's confirmed that Nokia will unveil some new models on the 21st at the Nokia Connection event.
Stephen Elop: ”He will set the stage for a number of exciting Nokia product and service launches.”
Mary McDowell: ”Mary McDowell will cover Nokia’s strategy around Mobile Phones, including the global launch of brand new mobile devices”
Finnish media has been invited to Espoo on the same day to see what it's all about. They also reminded that the website for the event has been opened:

Even slightly mature geeks would probably be embarrassed to have a 'serious' phone with the name of 'the disruptor'
In a busy, loud and saturated market... I'd go with the codename 'shhh.'
(and if it fails, people will just call it "Oh, shhh---...").
You may need to buy a ticket to get yourself back into the realms of what he's talking about. Missed his point by a continent.

I don't think I missed his point, I just don't agree with it. It's a semantic question of waiting for the masses to approve (as opposed to adopt) technology.
Honestly, I just don't believe in mass psychology.
Most people are scared of new, innovative technology - and that is pretty much a fact.

Just as a reminder
dis·rupt (ds-rpt)
tr.v. dis·rupt·ed, dis·rupt·ing, dis·rupts
1. To throw into confusion or disorder: Protesters disrupted the candidate's speech.
2. To interrupt or impede the progress, movement, or procedure of: Our efforts in the garden were disrupted by an early frost.
3. To break or burst; rupture.
[Latin disrumpere, disrupt-, to break apart : dis-, dis- + rumpere, to break apart; see reup- in Indo-European roots.]
Even better yet...
From weapons in Star Trek:
Disruptors are employed by several alien species in this series, including Romulans, Klingons, Breen, Cardassians, Iridians and Orions in their personal and military small arms as well as being mounted as cannon, emitters, turrets, and banks. Only the first three are known to have type-3 disruptors, the most advanced developed so far, by the 24th century. Disruptors cause damage by exciting the molecular bonds of targets. According to Last Unicorn's Star Trek: The Next Generation Roleplaying Game, disruptors are considered less 'elegant' than phaser-based weapons; their effects there are described as thermal shock and blunt force, as opposed to the 'rapid nadion effect'
