GSMarena did state the CPU rates but it may not be the finalized one. Awaiting with bated breath.. but good thing the spec sheets are looking good thus far.

The look of the phone... is almost similiar to SE Vivaz, which is also a symbian phone, but S60.

Obviously a trade off for the physical Qwerty keyboard....some sacrifices need to be made... unless they are willing to go with a bulkier chassis, which I think will not perturb most of us...
Remember its in the OS, not just the specs alone, which in cases like the N900 made it a winner (exception of the resistive screen)
