Yep, it's an epic 28 nano though. Phones don't really need quad-core, you aren't rendering 3D data in real-time are you?

No, but you're running Java and Flash apps. ;)

Anyway, I also think it's a good choice of microprocessor, and you are right, it's not all about the number of cores. Most of current netbooks will perform slower than this little fella.

1650 mAh battery... I'd bid on the standard almost-one-day-of-average-use duration... Still. :(

At least I hope they make it replaceable, but they most probably won't. All phone makers are copying the iPhone on this, with the stupid excuse of developing thinner units. And there's the growing tendency of lacking a micro-SD card slot as well... We're stepping backwards in so many things! Am I the only user in the world who wouldn't matter if his phone was thicker if that meant that the battery would last double than it does nowadays?

Surprisingly, the device will not have NFC support. Whaaaaatttt? This is a relatively new phone and it will not pay your payments thru your phone? Was is this the 80's? Come on, there are phones right now with less specs than this and they STILL get NFC (thru an adapter or chip) . What gives?
