I'd wait for the 36xx chips (or just a litho shrink in general) before going for higher clocks anyway, simply due to the gain in power efficiency and, thus, thermal efficiencies.
TI even considers 550 and 600 MHz as "Overdrive", and 500MHz as the normal safe maximum, so you could say Nokia already overclocked the CPU by 100MHz
