Only arm11 clocked at 1ghz.

Seems like this is the most low-end symbian anna smartphone. Replacement for s60v5 phones that are still on the market.

I think it's a useless model. All smartphones should have gpu.
Well it can't run Anna without a GPU. Symbian^3, Anna, Belle are all using GPUs to render the UI. Coverflow is GPU accelerated. This phone has the same GPU at the very least.

EDIT: There are 3D games in the video reveal. Nokia is heavily advertising the 1GHz CPU, so no mention of a GPU, but it has the same broadcom gpu.

Phonearena specs say yes for the GPU
