So far the community over at maemo.org have speculated that this device will be considered an Internet tablet/smartphone with specs being: -3.5" resistive display -Built-in stylus (could be slightly seen on one of the pics) -800x480 resolution -QWERTY keyboard (3 rows) -Maemo 5 os (linux much like android, but much more open) -Quad-band 850/900/1900/2100 (for calls aroundthe world) Tri-band 3G 900/1700/2100 (1700/2100 bands used for T-Mobile's USA network to get 3G [AWS] ) -32GB internal storage -microSD slot -TI OMAP3430 with ARM Cortex A8 clocked at 600mhz -256MB RAM (still speculating on this), 512MB ROM -5mp camera with Carl optics, dual LED flash with camera lens cover -Front camera for video calls/chat -Video recording -FM transmitter and receiver -TV-out -Accelorometer, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor (still not sure) -3.5mm jack -Kick stand (near the camera) -WLAN, bluetooth -Firefox 3 with flash 9.4 plugin (could be upgraded if maemo community would like to since the os is more linux) ..... I believe that the there is already a place to download apps from. It kinda looks like cydia/installer from the jailbroken iphones, which you have to add repositories to. There might be some more specs that I might have missed but these are some of the main ones. You can go to maemo.org to take a look at some of the software/apps for the platform.

Loved all my previous Maemo devices. If they had only had a phone in them. And now it will AND be 3G?! This phone moves to the top of my must-have list.

I'm not sure why T-mobile even released it and marketed it as something "new". It's a G1 without the keyboard. Still no camera flash. Still no 3.5 jack. No new features added like a fm radio. A rock is a rock. I agree with you Cameron! I’m not sure why T-mobile even released it and marketed it as something “new”. It’s a G1 without the keyboard. Still no camera flash. Still no 3.5 jack.
