In any case it's bit pointless to speculate about Nokia's WP7 phone specs. Unless one wants to speculate about exact megapixel count there is no point. Everything else will be set by Microsoft for all manufacturers.

Mango opens the door to a little more differentiation, but not much. Second generation phones will all use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8x55 or 7x30 processors, compared to the first generation's 8x50 ("x" is either a 2, for GSM models, or a 6, for CDMA ones). 8x55 and 7x30 both have lower power consumption and stronger GPUs than 8x50 (Adreno 205 instead of 200); they also include hardware-accelerated video transcoding, which Mango will leverage if available. The 8x55s offer potentially higher clock speeds of up to 1.5GHz compared to 8x50's 1GHz, while the 7x30s are a little slower at 800MHz. The minimum RAM requirement has been raised from 256MiB to 384. And the minimum flash storage has been reduced from 8GiB to 4.
All new phones must include a camera (minimum 5 megapixels) and an accelerometer, light sensor, proximity sensor, and GPS. The second generation specification adds support for an optional front-facing camera (minimum VGA resolution), gyroscope, and magnetometer/compass (with the restriction that all phones with a gyroscope also include the compass, but phones may include the compass without the gyro).
