The last of the N97's juicy technical details have finally been revealed on Nokia's dev-minded Forum Nokia site -- previously, only cursory data had been posted here -- although there are a couple notable bits that might be of concern to developers and would-be ourchasers of this lovely device alike.
Firstly, the processor looks to be a single-core ARM 11 putting along at 434MHz, 65MHz faster than the 5800's. It's quite an improvement, but when you consider that the competing i8910 from Samsung runs a higher-performance 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8, it makes the whole thing seem a bit...weak. Seeing how this is designed to be Nokia's premier device for 2009, couldn't they have gone all out, Nokia fashion?
Secondly -- this is something they already know, but the spec sheet reminded (and excited) us -- the N97 supports charging via micro-USB, which the 5800 doen't do. Ah well, some things need to be sacrificed in life, huh?
