    awesome SoC, the best there is, but disappointing in most other respects.

    the form factor with its glass front and back is a big no-no - it is just too damned vulnerable

    the screen, while possessing a great resolution, at 3.5" is just too damned small

    i personally believe that we are going to cross a real threshold when 28nm SoC's arrive with integrated 4G base band and OpenCL support:

    4G on a 40nm SoC with poorly optimised DSP circuitry is nothing less than a vampire to batteries

    OpenCL will finally give mobile devices the computing muscle to compete performance wise with PC style tasks.

    none of the above changes the fact that i will be buying a Nokia N9 the second it becomes available in Blighty!

    Seems like you can pre-order one here. Better get one fast before Nokia shuts down production.

    a finnish friend has just ordered three, for him, myself, and my previously iphone owning brother.

    *fingers crossed for a swift delivery and then onward dispatch to the UK*
