I can 100% guarantee you it's not an OMAP3530.

After the initial wow I gotta say that the hardware has some crucial lackings - fixed 8GB internal memory and the lackluster cam and lack of video recording is disappointing.
The OS/UI looks really interesting, though. Hopefully Palm will pair it with better hardware at some point.
Also, it is apparently set to sell for 399$ with a Sprint contract - that's not exactly cheap...

Wow, so nice. Hopefully the HSDPA version won't be tied to a single operator in Europe...

Yeah, 8GB internal and a card slot would just be fine, even only having a cardslot would be fine, with 16 & 32GB microSDs just around the corner.
The lack of external memory is a dealbreaker for me. I really, really like this phone, but 8GB (or rather, 7.4GB user accessible) is nowhere near enough. I want to use my phone as my music player, my navigation device, my video player and so on. All of that takes lots of memory, much more than it offers unfortunately.
I hate it when I'm all happy and thrilled about a device only to find out more and more shortcomings (no autofocus on the cam, no video recording, fixed memory...) that kill it again

As far videos, I watch 'em once perhaps twice, and then toss 'em.

OTOH, being able to import or export a large amount of data using a card is not possible on this device. If, however, the device has good syncing capabilities, that is partly mitigated.
I wonder if any Be Inc cruft made it somehow into this product. Software code, patented ideas, ...
The Maps icon in the second link of OP
is the same as Google Maps on S60 (Java ME application).
