Well, we already knew most of the specs already, but there's a bit of new info (if not merge with an old N900 thread)

N900 will have GSM radios and triband 3G with support for T-Mobile.
A full Firefox3 browser
5MP CZ cam, lens cover, LEDx2 flash, 800x480 video

Dates:
* T-Mobile International: July 2009
* T-Mobile USA: August/September 2009
* Middle East, Asia, South-East Asian Pacific: July 2009
* Europe: October 2009

Not a real improvement over the N810.

Plus:
- More memory and faster CPU

Minus:
- GSM module which makes the price much higher and selling in some countries only via one provider.
- Smaller screen
- No multitouch interface

The 5MP camera with a LED flash is just a gimmick as all phones with a camera are. 5+ MP crammed on a matchhead sized sensor can only take reasonable photos in broad daylight.
It is more like an N97 with Maemo (Fremantle) instead of S60v5, which costs over $700 in Europe.

It seems that many devices with GSM module in it are *much* more expensive than without it. E.g. iPod Touch $300, iPhone $600, same hardware with just a GSM chip in it.
