Typical of Nokia to go with the low OLD specs…

It’s one step better than using 4 generation old hardware. Basic ARM11 core dates back to 2002, Nokia uses the ARM1176 updated core, but that won’t be any newer than 06/07 and those updates weren’t even all that significant.

Heh, Nokia being Nokia, using two generation old hardware.

Technically 3rd-party apps can and do perform full multitasking, the issue is that the full code of the app won’t have access to 100% of the CPU at any one time.

MINIMUM specs. That’s good that is all it needs so Nokia can afford to push it down to lower price brackets. Higher ends from Nokia hopefully will be 512MB-1GB RAM.

256MB of RAM? Seriously? I expected that number to be at least 512, unless those numbers are for a lower end device.

No WP7 does not support dual-core yet but WP8 will or so they say. And actually WP7 does have real multi-tasking but not for third party apps, that’s coming with the Mango update(7.5).

And phones don’t need dual GPUs, tablets yes, phones no.

I think I’ve read that WP7 does NOT support dual core yet, but MeeGo does

Anyway, why do you need dual core in an OS that doesn’t support real multitasking?

I think dual core for mobile devices (right now) is just marketing BS. It would be better to have two GPUs instead
