Maybe somebody could check if Nokia has filed CSERIES trademark in other countries too?
In Sharp Zaurus it meant Clamshell (SL-C*; e.g. SL-C1000).

C is for Confused.
Nokia's moves make less sense per day.

Why less sense. Maybe they want to differentiate something from (current) N-Series. We don't know yet... I think we're far more confused than Nokia because partly we hear about rumours, speculation, and such and then add too much value to it.
or if it has UMTS, HSPA it is a 'modem'.
IMO the device is what you use it for; which can be multiple things. It can be partly a phone, partly a media player, partly an e-mail client. The very same is true for a so-called smartphone. Or even S40 phones.
A phone is this thing from the previous centry:
(Without the letters.)
IOW, its very relative, and with VoIP getting more important 'phone' becomes 'just one of those things you can do via the Internet'; in fact over WiFi, LTE, WiMAX that'd be only TCP/IP protocol between $client and $gateway.

Bottom line - from a hardware standpoint it IS a phone, no matter what you call it in the end.
With the 770 and N8x00 it was a different story (larger screen, no GSM radio).

Its straight forward.
The e series communicators and the n series tablets are being drafted into a single "C" series. C for Communicators.

...and the cost of many things, (radios for example), that you may not want to use but will jack the price up from 400 to 800.
Besides that, if I lose my N800 I'll cry more for the loss of data than the device, which is easily replaced. Losing an $800 item would have my eyes crossed.
