Yes, I would expect also better CPU and GPU. More harmonious progress in all hardware aspects would allow for a more capable device overall. Make the following comparison: you don't go to the gym to only work on your biceps, right?

Finally, there is the price factor. Why is a device which is overall less capable than N900 still $80 more expensive? Maybe without the camera on steroids it would be a more affordable option.
Get your pint about a harmonious capability of all hardware aspects.

But neverthless I still think the N8 camera is pretty damn good.

Now on a smartphone you cant have a camera with interchangeable lenses or any such tricks , so apart from picture quality and fidelity, how else is the camera going to be differentiated result wise ? I mean even with a 20 MP camera its still wont be very noticible after some time - apart from very very large photo sizes which eat up your memory fast.
