Any final word on this phone from community? what scares me is "raw power." which was used for n900

The N900 (c. 2009-02) looks like a toy compared to a phone running Android (read: they need this power to make it even run smooth) made in 2011? Seriously? No ****.

Also, EVERYONE IS USING SNAPDRAGON CHIPS. They have crappy performance per MHz ratios, are heat monsters, cannot meaningfully overclock (~10% max stable) and suck up tonnes of voltage.
It's all a ploy to get the numbers on the flyers. Multi-core, 1GHz.
Why no one bases phones around a top-shelf A8/A9-based core + SGX is beyond me. Tegra 2's GPU gets raped round the clock by the SGX540, much more the Mali 400 (2 cores though). The recent Cortex cores have also been known to: overclock to around 150% of stock, undervolt well, have the best performance/MHz ratios (check Quadrant scores ;) ) and not drain your battery faster than a 10 year old laptop thrashing a 5400RPM disk.

i saw this phone in action and it lagged switching desktops probably because they did a crap job of scaling the processors properly. since it lagged quite a bit and then you noticed the speed jump. end of the day the N900 can look like the biggest toy in the world. but it still does the job.

for goodness sake, if your benchmark is raw CPU power, everything looks like crap compared to the Atrix. but let's be real, is that why you bought your N900 in the first place? it's the same case with cars. if you want the fastest car on the road, a ferrari is not your answer - a souped up japanese junk sports car from 20 years ago can destroy a ferrari. so which is it you are after?

Raw power is not something that I would be interested in, I want a phone with some basic functionalities/ features that a silly phone like 5800 could provide, not just raw power. When I moved from various Nokia phones to n900 with a slogan of "raw power" I really didn't get it at the time that it was just power and a platform to write your own application, Nokia has no interest in this phone.

Lets see what Tuesday the 21st June brings .....
