If anything maybe Nokia was surprised by the reaction of the market (i.e. its more popular than they thought, for a larger more mainstream audience than they thought)
What interests me is the claim that "we prioritized development... for the target audience of this device".
If effective satnav, a fully-specced calendar, and the myriad of features found as STANDARD on lesser nokia phones are not priority for a premier (if not flagship) device then what was the target market for the N900?
Ovi Maps 3 will not be on your N900 in the near future if ever.
