No mather if they call it "for low end"
how would one describe N9's hardware in 2 years? yet still it handles harmattan today and probably more optimized meltemi in the future with similar specs (except ram because it is expensive..so limitations to multitasking and that's it)

Sometimes I would like to have one or two persons to shoot for free without getting jailed.

As a developer, I am actually looking forward to cheap (open) Linux phones with much greater interest than I would be to high end expensive phones.

I have no problem with cheap devices with the same system if there are some with superior hardware aviable. But without those?

And who says higher end devices will not be developed, if the first model are successful?

I think at some point better specs hardly improve the user experience on a N9 form factor. After all its designed for one-handed use and has a relatively small screen. On such a device most people won't do any productive work which requires lots of computing power. That said, the n9 could need a bit more power here and there for some tasks.
It can be seen with the iphone4s, which most people probably won't buy just because it has a dual core.

Traditionally nokia's mid to low-end phones (s40) have had very good build quality and materials, usually better than N-Series devices.

E.g. I think the nicest nokia touch phone besides the N9 is currently the C6 (s^3 version)

Build quality aside... I've seen now at Nokia World how the future for this meltemi platform could look like.
Have you seen the 4 symbian smartphones that were announced?
Have a look at the camera module. All of those are fixed focus cameras!
Just to say to the customers: "Hey, you wan't hi-end? Here are our shiny Windows Phones"
