BTW the images look like CGI mockups to me. EDIT I was wrong
It's a great form factor, I like it very much -- it feels slimmer than the iPhone: http://versusio.com/en/nokia-lumia-800-vs-apple-iphone-4s-64... (click at the top right to view the phones in original size) I'd love it with a different OS

That Versio site is terrible. For start, some of its facts are just plain wrong, the 4S has 512MB RAM not 1GB. It also has HDMI mirroring and video output. Branded Lens? Who cares? Why is a bigger screen better?
And some of the claims are downright weird ("1.9 newer Bluetooth version"? Really?).
It's everything that's wrong about checklist comparisons, made even worse.
Interesting how it has only 0.5GB of RAM. Is this meant to be Nokia's flagship Windows Phone product? As an aside, I still think Apple got it right with the single hardware "home" button vs the three in WP7 and Android.
What needs more than half a gig? The 4S copes. Going up to 1GB adds an unnecessary $9 to the BOM which eats into margins.
On a mobile device, more RAM is often a balancing act.
Funner? I thought "more fun," is the grammatically correct phrase?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why different OS? WP7 is a great system.
Really? Let's talk about compatibility with Linux, ergo, being able to use your phone as a mass-storage device. Let's talk about compatibility with all major mobile web apps. Let's talk about the ability, or lack thereof, to detach oneself from Microsoft's ecosystem, should you decide to get a Windows Phone. Who wants to use Bing, Hotmail, or the Windows Live stuff? Let's talk about universal usage in modern society,…
2. Based on my experience, they work pretty well.
3. Or gmail, twitter, facebook? (although bing kinda annoys me as a default search engine)
4. Just wait for WP7 userbase to grow.

You can have it with Meego, as the N9. It's almost exactly the same hardware (the N9 has an additional button).

CPU seems to be MSM8255T (they didn't mention the T) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip) 1.4GHz is fast, but the OS might be slow, and certainly they have less experience in integrating it with the hardware, to make it fast.
