Since when did you ever see a Nokia device have better RAM and CPU power than competitors? Not a time that Nokia device have more RAM that I can think off.

Nokia N95-8G has 128MB while competitors has more than 256MB in the same year. N97 released in 2009 still only packed with 128MB while others has 368-768MB RAM. lol

Nokia hardware has always behind others after the N95.
Why did Nokia never made a sufficient enough RAM and Processor device? and yet it selling at higher price or equal to competitors.

I would scratched my head.
Some pixel density to share:

On the flip side, what if any competitors have 32GB of storage, even now?

Nokia don't go all out on specs because up until the last year or so, they've had the market.. they could release average products and people would lap it up.

Leopards don't suddenly change spots..

Anyone expecting the new N9 or N950 to be significantly more powerful than the E7 are going to be very disappointed.

N900 already has a faster CPU as Cortex A8 is 1.5X to 2X as fast as the ARM11 in S^3 devices. Broadcom's GPU is on par with PowerVR SGX535 which is a bit quicker than SGX530 (N900). Broadcom chip is really good only at media encoding / decoding, as processing 12mpix cmos sensor data in a fraction of a second requires plenty of number crunching.

So if N9/950 was using only single core 1GHz A8 core with SGX540 gpu, it would be quite a lot faster than E7. Of course I'd still rather see N9/950 using TI OMAP4 SoC. More horse power, more possibilities. :D

I don't agree, the Broadcom GPU may be fast when it comes to actual rendering, but it is a LOT less capable than any PowerVR SGX core because of memory issues.

On Symbian^3 devices the broadcom chip only has 32 MB video memory, and because of the hardware accelerated GUI of Symbian^3 some 10 MB is permanently in use, leaving only 22MB for actual textures that can be used inside games.

A PowerVR SGX core has shared memory with the RAM, and is MUCH better suited to play games. The Broadcom was chosen as a cheap solution to make a relatively underpowered phone do video and image processing well. It was never chosen for its gaming/OpenGL capabilities, and that is the whole point of the PowerVR core. For video acceleration maemo uses a different DSP core on the Omap3, that is not PowerVR related.

I would prefer the PowerVR core in the N900 to the Broadcom chip used in Symbian^3 devices.

I personally don't care about games the least. I want most of all great 1080 video playback thru HDMI out and as smooth UI as you can get.

My expectation are at OMAP36xx and everything above that is a surprise to me, unfortunately because OMAP36xx isn't at least really cutting that HDMI part.

I'm getting Asus Transformer the day it's available here so i could potentially use that device to put out my media. Still hoping for a surprise from Nokia.

None. Not with a combination of 32Gb + microsd card. I searched for it. The only thing that comes close is iPhone which comes without a sd card slot, no usb OTG and all the drawbacks of a closed system.

The only one that comes to mind immediately is the iPhone with 32GB of storage.
