If it comes with even 1/6th of the specs in this thread, Nokia will probably charge like 800.00 for it.
How about this... what I want first is confirmation from Nokia that it is coming. Then, I want to know what OS version it will run. And then I want to know if they will support it for at least a year or should they become the first cellphone manufacturer with a ****ing "Sold As-Is" sticker on the side.
The n810 resistive touchscreen (best ever) w/ multi-touch
The n810 stand (best ever)
The n800 hardware keyboard: NONE (best ever)

Connectivity
------------------
Nokia 2mm charging connector. Also charging over microUSB.
hot-swappable microSDXC slot
microUSB v3.0 support

Bluetooth 4.0/3.0
IR Port (supporting IrDA protocols)
Wifi b/g/n
Wifi hotspot
UPnP support

NFC chip
Multimedia
----------------
TV-Out via (micro)HDMI 1.4(a)
TV-Out should be capable of delivering atleast 2560X1600@60FPS playback
TV-in (recording atleast in component quality) - like the Cowon A3
Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound over HDMI
Loud Stereo Speakers
EQ support
3.5mm audio jack
MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/OGG
Upto 320 kbps bitrate
MP4/H.264/FLV/Theora/WebM/AVI/MOV/DAT/MPEG-2/3GP/VOB/MKV

Full-HD 1080P@60fps video recording with stereo audio and Image Stabilization
Front facing camera (2MP)
Other items that would be awesome to have:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dual-SIM (hot-swappable) card slots
Digitizer for hand-writing recognition
Finger print recognition
Back of the phone as a track-pad
Barometer (weather forecast & altitude determination)
At this point, I wouldn't even care, if it sells with Maemo or MeeGo or Symbian^3/4 or Android or iOS provided all the hardware included in the phone is used wisely/efficiently.
A device of this spec will at some point get hacked!
Possibility of a phone with the above listed spec is already giving me goosebumps. We are not very far to have a phone with such kind of specs. Could be very possible by mid of 2012 itself or in the worst case end-2012.
Btw, I don't think these specs are any impossible to have in one nice little handy package. We have seen almost all of the above specs in the latest phones available (and some announced) in the market today. The only few new things added to the list above are S-AMOLED2, TV-in, BCM2763 graphics chip & multi-SIM card slot.
I would be willing to wait for a phone of this spec to be atleast announced/leaked by the end of 2011.

/Dream over
That is really something! O_O Maybe you're some kind of a disigner & engineer. Those are awsome specs. But it will cost a fortune. Like. $1600 maybe XD

Absolutely not! $800 Max (by end-2012)!
But why the manufacturer wouldn't give you such a device today would be:
1. If they sell this today what will they sell tomorrow
2. Availability of all the required modules in bulk (probably in millions) and each from different vendor/manufacturer
2. All the hardware can't right away be exploited
3. Battery technology still needs to be evolved. (I am not having high hopes on it yet!)
I think the pure hardware & manufacturing cost would not exceed $400 (+ or - 50).
