i am fine with a dual-core, but i want to know that they are forward looking in using an opengl es 3.0 compliant SoC.
i was very disappointed in bb for launching their new bbos10 platform with the adreno225 gpu, and i would hate to see sailfish's future development hampered by the same idiocy.

What's the thing in the middle of the back cover?
I'm hoping it's an inductive charging thingy, which would hint at back covers having more intelligence and the potential of a HWKB "other half" for those that want it, but I can't see any metal contacts on either half. How would that work? Am I missing something? Is it just an NFC tag to say what colour the plastic is? Let's hope all is revealed at the event later.

Hmm, I was hoping for something more high-end. Not for CPU per se (a fast dual core is probably good enough for this OS) but from the looks of it this device lacks stuff like HDMI, extra sensors, good camera, etc. For me the only reason I would want this, is for the OS and the freedom it (should) provide.
I understand it's a market decision now, better sell lots of €400 devices instead of a few €700. They need to build up a market share to get the app developers interested.

From engadget article :
Update: We now hear that the phone will simply be called the "Jolla." Update #2: Jolla has just clarified that 4G means LTE. Also the display
resolution has been vaguely described
as "HD," which to our minds suggests
720p.

I think, what we see here, is a concept of modular phone, which means, for 399€ you get the basic phone, which you can extend by "2nd halfs".
These could be things like:
Just like when you hav a DSLR and put different lenses on it, depending on what your planning to do that day, you can change the 2nd half, depending on your plans...
I would love that concept!

These could be things like:
- bigger battery
- HWKB
- eInk-Display
- better camera with optical zoom
- amp + speakers
- and so on

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:07.
Just reading that made me wanna go buy one.
But seriously, I'm hoping this is now the time that I can go into a mobile store and not have to think about buying 5 or 6 devices to get a close match to the usability of my N900.
Mick has just punched the cr@p out of the "Unlike" button on the Official Nokia Facebook Page.
