For instance, where is the high res image? as thats so covered in compression artifacts its not funny. Also, it appears to run maemo4, not maemo5/fremantle...

I completely missed that! During the Maemo 5 conference a few months ago, Nokia pretty much said it would NOT support GSM voice. I'm still a little sceptical of this rumour since this device will compete directly with the N97 (which runs S60 5th edition). WHAT?! I completely missed that!

This probably explains why the N97 is only running on a 434Mhz chip. Even the latest windows and android phones from HTC run on 500Mhz plus chips.

As Chippy points out, this is a definite change in form factor. If the MobileCrunch article is accurate, it looks like Nokia is going to push this device as a cellphone. The obvious question then is why buy this rather than iPhone, Palm Pre, or Blackberry Storm? (The right answer of which of those to buy is probably different for each person, but what will be this new device's hook into the marketplace?)

I'd _love_ to have a Maemo phone (gsm voice, sms, etc.), and that device claims an actual respectable portrait camera for it. But that thing is ugly (it doesn't look like an N810, it's much more plain than an N810), and reducing the overall size and screen size??? Full of fail. A 4.1" screen size based on a design like the N97, or the just-leaked Nokia Mako, would be an amazing Maemo phone platform. I might actually be slightly relieved if it turns out to be shenanigans. But I may still buy it even if it's real (I don't want to see a Maemo phone fail). If it’s real, it’s a very mixed bag for me.
