I'm going to make a prediction about "voice and SMS/MMS" in Maemo5:
What we see in those two images linked from the OP are 4 columns, not 5. I am concluding that Maemo 5 is "phase 4" of the 5 phase/step plan. My prediction is:
Phase 4 (Maemo 5) will have HSPA for data only (I hope it also has EDGE, though).
Phase 5 will have voice and SMS/MMS as well, and thus be a full phone.
(that, or phase 5 wont be delivered until after 4G is here, and there's no longer a distinction between voice, messaging, and data -- instead we'll have high speed carrier delivered voip instead of a dedicated voice channel, and ubiquitous IM presence on your phone instead of an SMS/MMS channel)

Is that wrong?

I think that's all they've announced. But I'd say it's a pretty safe guess.

The main part wasn't the "Maemo 5 gives HSPA only", it was noting that despite "5", this is only step 4, and the prediction that step 5 will have full phone capabilities (relative to whichever phone network model is in place when it finally gets delivered).

I always though the tablets were NOT meant to be traditional phones. I personally like the inclusion of 3G, but would NEVER buy a tablet if it was a phone. It just seems wrong in a tablet. The future, everything will run off one data link, maybe IP or something better. The tablets are a step into that future.
