I loved the design of X7.........looks awesome...but the specs are not impressive.

^^ For running symbian on 360 x 640 pixels resolution, the hardware is good enough. Personal opinion, but i didnt like the design too much. Its ambitious and fresh, but not to my tastes.

X7 looked shoddy in earlier pics but in videos, it looks stunning. Had Nokia put W7 on it and released this month, it would create wonders to their sales charts. E6 looks like good evolution from E5 with new OS and capacitive touch.

iPhone 3G(A11) vs. iPhone 3GS(A8) - AnandTech
ARM A8 architecture is newer and better than A11. Above link shows the performance difference.

Architectures : A11 < A8 < A9 < A15

single core 500-800Mhz SOC are ok for Symbian. what they need more is ram. 128Mb ram is joke when you compare to Atrix's 1Gb. also dedicated GPU help them a bit.

Anna is still not enuf to beat Android OS
