It is kind of tragic that these devices were meant to be Meego devices, but at least they are coming, if the rumours are true of course.
I initially planned to buy the N9, but with WP7 getting better each day, and with such appealing hw specs i decided to wait.
My still well-working N900 allows me to.
2012 may indeed be ace from a tech standpoint.
I don't even think Ace is real.
All the other names have actually leaked from some reputable source, why hasn't this been on those same lists? This is just some spec put together by Nokia/WP fan and sent to My Nokia Blog.

Even if this device is just virtual, it has actual consequences on my decision to possibly scrap the N9 and wait.
And that's what counts, no?

WP7 (Mango) does not even support dual core. See ms required specs.

Should also be noted that the specification above are a direct quote from the insider and he mentions HSPA+ to be LTE, that it is not.

In any case it's bit pointless to speculate about Nokia's WP7 phone specs. Unless one wants to speculate about exact megapixel count there is no point. Everything else will be set by Microsoft for all manufacturers.
"Mango opens the door to a little more differentiation, but not much. Second generation phones will all use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8x55 or 7x30 processors, compared to the first generation's 8x50 ("x" is either a 2, for GSM models, or a 6, for CDMA ones). 8x55 and 7x30 both have lower power consumption and stronger GPUs than 8x50 (Adreno 205 instead of 200); they also include hardware-accelerated video transcoding, which Mango will leverage if available. The 8x55s offer potentially higher clock speeds of up to 1.5GHz compared to 8x50's 1GHz, while the 7x30s are a little slower at 800MHz. The minimum RAM requirement has been raised from 256MiB to 384. And the minimum flash storage has been reduced from 8GiB to 4.
All new phones must include a camera (minimum 5 megapixels) and an accelerometer, light sensor, proximity sensor, and GPS. The second generation specification adds support for an optional front-facing camera (minimum VGA resolution), gyroscope, and magnetometer/compass (with the restriction that all phones with a gyroscope also include the compass, but phones may include the compass without the gyro)."

And that's what counts, no?
@ least with Maemo, it is possible for the community to tinker the software
with m$, you are a sitting duck, waiting to be capsized by Redmond
plus after NOKIA leaves the platform behind (it won't sell, no more with a NOKIA logo then with any other); m$ already admitted the failure.
why won't NOKIA devices w/ m$ sell?
simply because what made NOKIA's quality was its functionality. w/ LostDOS paralysed, that is gone, thus NOKIAs will be just like any other wp device, staying on the shelves...

Finally some windows phones. Will be nice to se what they come up with. Who cares about the specs? It's the user experience.

With Mango, M$ already proved that they are listening to its users. If that's not enough, there is always XDA. When did Nokia as an OS Provider ever listen to us?
Granted, Nokia did many things right in the first place, so listening to the userbase would have created warm feelings, but was not really top priority.
There is no need to mourn the death of the "truely open phone"-paradigm, because it just never existed.
