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!
