On a more serious note..I noticed from the spec sheet that the talk time is 9 hours GSM, 5 hours WCDMA. Is there a way to make it prefer GSM for voice without disabling WCDMA for data applications? Maybe it's a silly question, but when people start wondering about battery life and such I would think those kinds of optimizations would be kind of handy.

@texaslabrat: I'd imagine the proper logic would be to stay on GSM until data transfer is required then. But with all the widgets and automated tasks going on all the time, you'd need a more intelligent profile\detection\preference mechanism to utilize the 3G smartly.

How fast is swapping on a flash memory going to kill it?
Do we know what type of flash is being used?
Evening algorithm?

eMMC, which handles its own wear-leveling.

do i have the same storage space for everything or not (putting everything in one place)? im sorry, but this is the most confusing thing about the phone for me and i still don't understand eventhough i understand everything else...on Symbian it was easy...one phone memory, one card memory, one ram...here it's confusing..

Not completely transparent if the user wants to store data with symbolic links or when the execution bit is important (this will be possible under /opt, but not under /home/user). Or when the 1-GB partition becomes full. I think I'll repartition the device, like I did on my N810.
