I haven't been perusing the details, but there are slight differences in Cortex A8s (even the same model) depending on the implementor\fabricator..
In this case, Apple has contracted Samsung to make their A8s and the N900's one by Texas Instrument.

Thanks ysss, that's what confusee me since they are both A8. Shame that it won't the possibility of the extra 200 mhz speed.

I think this is because the OMAP3530 moved to 45nm (i.e., OMAP36x) but I never actually saw the real announcement about this change.

It's not set in stone as you could overclock it?

Although the early ES2.x revision OMAP3530s had reliability issues running at 600MHz for extended periods.

There are a few hardware points obviously missing from the specs, so, no jumping to conclusions just yet
The positive is it is full Flash and reports are that it plays every site tried but hidef Flash is not smooth (It is not on netbooks either). Flash is a resource beast, hence chopped down versions on phones except the n900- until Flash 10 (in theory).
Point is this device has the best Flash support of any current phone.
On a side note- they better add an audio EQ !

And now my trust has been betrayed: the N900 is missing the things I valued about the N8x0: the screen size, the big battery, and now this: the loss of USB host functionality.
Maybe I need to wait a year (or whatever) for the RX-71. It sure would be nice to know something useful about Nokia's directions forwards from here with this "product line" (if the widely-differing Maemo devices can even be called a "product line").
Maybe the RX-71 is a slate with a 4.3 inch screen, big battery, and two USB OTG ports. More likely not.
Regards,
Roger
Still ordered one anyway
Too much power and features to turn down. Most complete multi function device evah'... at least for a few months

...getting back to the "launching the phone dialer" issue, does anyone know if the Capture hardware key supports 2-level pressing? E.g. half-press and full-press.
What I have in mind is that, I suppose, it won't be too hard to remap "half-press" to launch the dialer. (other users may prefer to remap to the "home menu").
If 2-level pressing is not there, maybe a software hack will do the trick by implementing "short press" and "long press"...
touch-based UIs are the hype, ok, but nothing beats the functionality of one or two hardware keys

however, I too think about remapping some buttons to do some stuff (like volume buttons to control audio player - mentioned here http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...en_when_locked ).
and as the camera will probably only be used when the camera cover is cleared, I think that remapping the shutter (in case of disabled camera) is a logical must
) I know I'll try to do figure out how to do it
