I have to agree, while a 1Ghz A8 with 512MB of RAM and an SGX530 would still be an upgrade from what the N900 has, it's really more of just a slight generational increase--something you'd see from phones coming out a few months after it. By now, in mid-to-late 2011 and early 2012, we'll be seeing phones that have 768-1GB+ RAM, GPUs far more powerful than the SGX530, and 1GHz+ dual-core A9 CPUs, hardware much more powerful than the N900. Now, on the one hand, the aforementioned 'generational increase' would still be somewhat better(along with all of its other enhancements, such as extra sensors/hardware) and would probably be fine-ish. On the other hand, the N9 is most probably NOT going to be quite the superphone that it could be this late in the year. That being said, I would hope that at least the specs would include a 1GHz+ A8, 512MB+ RAM, and an SGX 540, although those are the bare minimum that I'd accept. Obviously I'd rather it be even more powerful, but I don't want to be too hopeful.

Edit: I was writing that before the suggestion to stay on topic was added, sorry! It's not really relevant to this thread. I will say that I'm happy to see a video-editing solution built-in this time around, it's a nice feature I could've used with all the videos I take.
