It doesn't matter. They will be criticized for being behind if it uses a 2 year old single core processor. Personally, I'd like a spec bump beyond a basic clock increase.

But fact is this handset can be more optimized for the CPU/GPU than new hardware with DualCore and so on.
You can only get so much out of optimization, after which you must improve the hardware.

Are we even sure Android is optimized for those DualCores comming atm?
Doubtful. But MeeGo inherently will be from the get-go.

I mean N900 still can compete with some crap Androids released today.
Yes, compete with crap. That's exactly what Nokia wants to do.

Or you could be right, and Nokia could just dump a sad, underpowered device out there and walk away to promise a brighter future for Windows Phone.
