OTOH the timing is a bit suspicious TI announced 720MHz version at about the same time when the mass production of N900 and the other omap3 based phones started. It could be an indication that the yield is not very good, but they now have enough chips to select faster ones in commercially viable quantities and sell them separately. I don't have any real information on the subject, so it's just a speculation.
