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.
In addition it seems to have really good GPU. Those 5th edition phones didn't have dedicated graphics processor at all.
Interesting specs and price. Not sure if it should called 'cheap high-end' or 'expensive mid-range'.

ARM11 is the cpu found in the original iPhone and iPhone 3G... pretty old stuff (circa 2006-2007?).
3D UI, games and video playbacks look smooth, but the 2D screen elements (and scrolling) look visibly choppy.

Those are my personal opionions:
Pro:
HDMI + 720p
Xvid/Dvix support
Nice camera but let's see how it works
Battery life (But I do not belive 4 days of discrete uses, maybe standby)
Con:
Screen too small, 4 inch would have been far better with this camera and media attitude
CPU slow - But we need to put it on the test before giving a real opinion
No hardware keyboard... that is a pity... I love n900's...
It is thick compared to Nexus and Desire
and then the worst of all:
SYMBIAN. I saw the videos... it looks like a 5 years old OS already...
Anyway I am not buying it, I love my n900 for multimedia and I like light and snappy Nexus as my phone... I will upgrade it only for bettere CPU performances and bigger screen... and off course a major OS, which might include meego but defenitly not include Symbian... of any edition...

In Italy the price will be around 470 € (370 + 20% VAT + 5% tax for multimedia stuff)

I know that Nokia have been using different ARM11 configurations for long time now, but spec wise this there with OMAP3430(dedicated GPU, 256RAM and 680mhz). The thing is where in reality will the ARM11 then fall flat to OMAP3 or will it?

..and the GPU definitely seems to be a current one. HDMI, 720p (encode and decode) and Open GL ES2.0 capable. The 2D stutters were curious.
