Wow, super CPU stuff
(taken from GSMArena):
'Qualcomm's QSD8650A Snapdragon is a 1.3 GHz monster
1 June, 2009
It has only been several months since the Toshiba TG01 and its 1GHz Snapdragon CPU were officially unveiled and here comes something else to look forward to. The 1.3GHz Qualcomm's QSD80650A Snapdragron CPU boasts
a major 30% speed upgrade over the existing 1GHz Snapdragon chipset.
The QSD80650A Snapdragon certainly sounds like the next big thing in the portable devices industry. Sporting the same 15 x 15mm size as it predecessor it offers immense capabilities, including 2D and 3D acceleration, integrated GPS, high-def video recording and playback, Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi. The new Snapdragon CPU supports displays of up to WXGA (1280x800 pixels) resolution and comes with multi-mode UMTS and CDMA 3G connectivity. Sounds like the core of a sweet netbook, doesn't it?
What makes the QSD8650A even sweeter is that
it will consume 30% less power than its 1GHz sibling, which should result in major increase in the battery life of the devices utilizing it. The reason for the greatly increased efficiency is that the new CPU uses a reduced 45nm manufacturing processes.
Qualcomm QSD8650A chipset is said to become available for sampling before the end of 2009, so the first devices running it should appear somewhere in 2010.'

Check what Samsung's due to have out this month in Europe and worldwide in August (apparently)... (take note,
...)
To quote Mario: " Go Samsung go!" LOL.
Esato thread on this phone:

Taken from GSMArena:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsu[....]tion_with_pixon12-news-941.php
'Samsung have long been rumored to have a 12 megapixel cameraphone in the works. Well, now it sees daylight for the first time - meet the Pixon12 - the first 12MP cameraphone to hit the market, scheduled for a June launch.
The M8910 is the model number standing behind the Pixon12. The new cameraphone pointed as Sony Ericsson Satio (a.k.a. Idou) competitor makes its mark with a
3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a highly advertised 10000:1 contrast.
And taking where the original Pixon left, the Samsun Pixon12 now sports Wi-Fi connectivity along with the GPS receiver.
The Samsung Pixon12 camera goes further in to the mobile photography offering a
28mm wide-angle lens, both a xenon and a power LED flash (how's that for a change), D1 video recording at 30fps, tracking Touch Auto Focus, Smart Auto mode changing with the lighting conditions and all the rest typical high-end camera features such as geo-tagging, face detection, etc.
The rest of the Samsung Pixon12 specs are close to what the the Samsung M8800 Pixon offered - 150MB internal storage and a microSD card slot, HSDPA support and Bluetooth.
The Samsung Pixon12 won't be a smartphone, so expect the usual Samsung TouchWiz UI with some visual upgrades. Responding to the reactions of the end users to the lack of Wi-Fi in the Pixon, Samsung will offer it here in the Pixon12.
Quite unfortunate for all of you that were finally sold after the Omnia HD, the Samsung Pixon12 will be available across the Europe in June and will be expanded worldwide in August to make this summer's cellphone choice that much harder. There is no word on pricing yet.'

Too true.
Hintza
True that, i think it has around 150mb RAM at boot up in total, theres absolutely no way anyone can use that up on a S60, even OperaMini will struggle to eat that up
. I think we're gonna see A LOT of Quake PC to S60 type game ports now since the hardware is where it should be, Quake takes 25-30mb RAM to play lol.
Wanqa
Realy exciting times we're living in, i WOULD say imagine what type of phones we'd be using in 10years but i doubt we can so imagine what we will in 5years
1.3GHz with less power useage? In just a matter of months, realy scary, now if they could just bring out better battery tech lol.
That Pixon12 looks realy interesting, SE once again beaten at their own game
so people were right the Satio is going to be outdated by the time its released, shame its just not working out for
I still want an Innov8 though lol,im sick of this touchscreen hype.

Thanks for that link Wanga but if you got a JB iPhone things like that don't become a problem.I only really downloaded 3 app from the Appstore before I JB and found the world of the Appulous store.As soon as 3.0 is released,im updating and then JB-king straight away as soon as Ive done some homework to see if all is good.
@Rhino Facebook launches client for S60 5th edition.The application can be found in the OVI store if you interested.Go to AAS and look at some of the screenshots.It looks on par with the Apple iPhone equivalent.Good one Nokia/Facebook.Mmm what about my 3rd edition E90 me wonders?

@HintZA, I decided, after reading your post wrt the facebook app for S60V5 to try getting it.
Opened the ovi App on my 5800xm, 2nd app from the top was the facebook app, clicked it, and it asked me to login. Logged in with my nokia account details, and downloaded the app with no problems. Installed automatically from the ovi app, and it does look rather great on the phone. Much more functionality than the standard Facebook link/app that comes standard with the phone, and it looks clean, and most important, IT WORKS.

Glad u followed up on that Rhino and decided to download it.If you use Facebook on your mobile you need an app especially for your mobile,like the iPhone has its version.Hate going on Facebook through my phones browser or Operamini.You just dont get the full experience.So enjoy.
