& I'm guessing the GPU is a Broadcom BCM2727

Seems to match the specs listed for the N8, plus some website mentioned about the GPU being a Broadcom unit.
That Broadcom GPU does 32 Million Polygons a second!!!! That beats the The Cortex A8 used in the N900 AND iPhone 3GS when comparing polygons per second.

Thanks for the heads up.

I must wonder why nokia didn't go with the cortex a8. I'm sure the price difference between that and arm 11 is almost negligible.

It btw uses Li-Poly battery and at least the times they are quoting are really good.
N8 got USB-OTG that i surely wasn't waiting from it.

Well I am just guessing, but as it uses an Arm 11 (instead of the Arm Cortex-A8) and an AMOLED screen, that is "only" 640 x 360; these are all lower power consumption wise compared to say the N900, therefore in Nokia's opinion doesn't need a higher capacity battery

It has interesting compatibility list. Korean sausage makers must be worried.

"Also for:

* Apple iPhone
* Apple iPhone 3G
* Apple iPhone 3GS
* BlackBerry 9500
* HTC G1 Google
* HTC Hero A6262
* HTC Magic
* LG GC 900
* LG KF900
* LG KM900 Arena

and other compatible capacitive touch phones and devices.
"

Tip seems to be very wide like in other capacitive styluses. Not sure if it's usefull for anything besides written text input.

the way i read this chart, it says "launch in the 1st week of june, the week starting with may 31st"

that's why i don't believe it's valid. maybe this was the original plan - we know symbian^3 is delayed.
