I don't have that many videos, but my music collection is 51GB. That didn't even fit in N9 let alone the devices offered to public today...

Exactly. Or more generally it's not the number of transistors but the density of features that can be packed to an area of silicon.

And can you guess how flash memory is made...

From plastic, metal and magic smoke.

But anyway, 4 days till the July 12 ship date of the Turing phone, or the Turing phone evaluation unit, or whatever. We're running out of days to announce another delay. Will it ship? More importantly, if it does, is anyone following TMO an early contributor (and willing to admit it) who can confirm if they get a shipping notification next week? And if they receive it, write it up here?

No shipping notification sent...Google would have found it.

This phone is fake until it's real so consider it to be fake.

Delay time ahead. Get another device while waiting.

Anyone think it will launch the 12th...After all, it would be cool...

Scam ahead...

This is turning into an epic adventure in how to
continuously extract streams of money
from every imaginable source in the playbook
(investors + consumers + government + who else ?)
and drag it out over a timespan measured in months

This guy is a new global expert on something,
but proper spelling eludes me - dwindling, perhaps?
Nokia should hire him to revive the corporate image.

Ahh, nice!
I am sure we will see more individually selected erm, random users excavating and indepently reviewing the sh*t out of theyr device now.
Maybe one of the iss astronauts is among the first preorders and will do a droptest from orbit?

are the SD 820 / 128GB specs true?

almost a shame, as that will make the device Samsung Galaxy S7 style expensive.

i'd have been much happier with a mid-range 14nm SD 816 / 64gb, if the price could have been ~£450 rather than ~£650.

Well I guess they have to justify the high price tag somehow.
