What is easy (and this is all from Nokia folk working at Maemo Software):
  1. Fast OMAP3 processor, capable of 3D effects and 720p HD video playback
  2. HSPA (3G) data access all the time
  3. Stereo Bluetooth headset support
  4. Kinetic scrolling
  5. More fluid, revamped UI based on Clutter
  6. A high definition (5MP, probably) camera EDIT: added

When is also simple (and this is from Nokia employees as well): 2009 (probably around the middleish)

I'm just having a hard time being convinced that maemo and Freemantle have anything to do with the 'when' of a new Nokia product (maaaaybe the what), seeing as how I don't get to see it running on anything and I'm being asked to believe what's being told to me by the maemo folks and not from Nokia--which doesn't necessarily have to have a 1:1 relationship.
Maemo Software (folks like qgil, ragnar, jussi, timeless, Eero and so on) is a team within Nokia. All of the stuff above has come from them, either at the Summit, in Bugzilla, in emails on maemo-* mailing lists, on IRC or here on ITT.

Let me put it another way, no-one on the Maemo Community Council (so kindly elected by all ya lovely folks) is guessing at stuff without strong evidence - it's our job to collate what they say and funnel it to you (and what you say back to them).
