“A camera like the one on Nokia N8 should also be on board”?

I’m sure there is a sizeable portion of the market who want a device with a fast processor and a multitude of connectivity options without the lens and flash paraphernalia of cameras.
Spare us the camera and use the space for a bigger battery – or indeed make a thinner device.
It seems to me that people who are serious about photography would carry a separate device for that anyway and images can easily be shifted between devices.

Hey, Nokia can’t make such a phone so soon what you mentioned here. ) And don’t call me an amateur ok?? Because I know probably more than you!

You do NOT know more than me, buddy, trust me on this one, i do this for a living and the specs I have mentioned aren’t too far from actually coming to fruition, but the company must be able to stick to thier budget forecast per annum before committing to ‘fantasy’ projects and going mainstream with such devices with the advertising, the latter will bring in more revenue than say the sales so detail is everything. In fact, only a big company like Apple or Nokia/Samsung will be able to pull this off.

Circa 2012 will will see such devices, as the world economy recovers by then a lot of companies, not just the smartphone industry will spend thier time on future research and FUND it too. Given the technology we have today, we should be able to produce such a phone today, but a) is the market ready after the Iphone 4 hype and b) what is the specific audience and what do the company hope will make this more than just another iphone killer wannabe, it has to have appeal and a marketing gimmick to make it the must-have device amongst not just the masses but super famous celebrities and the media whilst not discounting a groundbreaking tech saavy premium device that will join the ranks of the GameBoy, Ipod, RAZR, Iphone.

Jack! You have to learn more too. Your specs are awesome, but you can forget it. We will NOT see such devices till 2011 late, 2012. You mentioned too that we will see in 2012 such devices, but Nokia wants to make a great phone NOW, NOT in 2012. In 2012 HTC 4 example will have 2.5 GHZ CPU phones, Sony Ericsson will have 21MP camera phones. Samsung will have also awesome phone then. We will see in 2012 more waterproof phones, we will see shock resistant phones, fingerprint sensor phones. But let’s talk about the present.
