I thought that device name != manufacturer+model?
Isn't the device name something chosen by the user? There's no
guaruantee that this includes either manufacturer or model.
Yes, we did not have any assumption about the device name. The example here
maybe misleading, but this is what we got in default case (i.e. user did not change
the device name).
If user set an arbitrary name say naming his N900 as 'myPhone', what the UI will
show
Is:
"
myPhone
We don't know what the device is exactly..."

Does the GUI get enough information for this already? If yes, can you
describe how Jussi can implement this? If no, what needs to be changed
by whom?
Yes, I think so. The temporary template has 'deviceName' and
'fingerPrint' property
for this two.
