Where did you read no digital compass? It's fairly sad that is missing.

Did I miss something on the specs page?

Agree, it's not so expensive and will make it run much faster, specially for heavy websites.

As I understand, it isn't possible to do so but they try to achieve this using 768MB nand memory as swap so in teoria we do have 1 GB of Ram. Correct me if I'm wrong

This thing is freaking fat the more I stare at the promo photo at roughly 20mm. Its in no way a cool looking phone like the iphone or n97 but yeah I know, its not something most people on this forum care about. As a young student its a bit of a bummer though.

The first time I took an iPhone it stroke me how thin it is. It felt alien in my hand and i didn't like it. I think that 18mm is pretty normal thickness for a phone to feel good in my grip. My current phone is thicker, so it's an improvement for me I guess it's a matter of taste, but I really think one should try it out in person before deciding.

Has it been confirmed that the 768MB of "virtual memory" is space swap? because there is also something called compcache which is a different type of swap that is getting pretty popular in the linux community....

thanks,

Accelerometer = vertical orientation

Compass = horizontal orientation

It' not the same. For most stuff the accmeter is enough, but it does not replace the compass.

Compass + accelerometer = Augmented reality w/ low CPU\bandwidth usage

Otherwise you'll have to process the movement from the video feed or something.

To further clarify the concept, please, look at this video from D. Pogue

Cheers

P.S.
It is outdated when talking about services, but it is very funny about big/clunky phones...
