Why did you complain ?

After all, Nokia is the only cause of this situation by having announced 
a new product with it main specifications without giving a name to it. 
So people outside Nokia have used the most logical one: "N900". Nokia 
have given the code name "RX-51" but it was too late and not in line 
with the existing N770, N800 and N810 names.

If you still don't wants to say the name of the next product, you can 
simply ask to use the code name RX-51, without complain to a person that 
try to support your next product. That's so simple and elegant.
