The price is sensational. Wonder how much it will be with contract. Cheapest N900 I saw was below €250,- ...

The droid is 12.7mm and it has a slide-out hardware keyboard.

Could somebody who really knows about these things explain what chipset Nokia is using? What differences it might have to for example OMAP3430. This ARM11 based at least seems to be very good at saving battery looking at the figures given by Nokia.
Nokia and Qualcomm had chipset project for Symbian phones where we would see results in mid 2010. First from Nokia to support ATT and T-mobile 3G bands make me think that Qualcomm is indeed behind this.

Personally, I'm happy they're trying to push the battery life. I would gladly take this phone over any faster one.
It's fortunately more attractive than I thought it would be, although the theme still needs a lot of work. I hope they customize the colors to each case, and increase transparency for widget backgrounds.
If they lose some of the seams for the next model, it'll be downright beautiful.
