I just wanted to post this information and link so people are clear about the A500's specifications, in case there are any questions. It's silly that Acer doesn't include this somewhere on their product information page - it's buried in their support documents for now.
Hope you find it useful.

Possibly. Yes, according to Corning's GG website.

The Iconia referred to on Corning's website is the dual screen laptop that was released recently, not the Tab.
Also, a couple of reviews stated that the A500 has DDR3 memory, not DDR2. Weird.

Did you hit the link? According to Corning it's the Iconia Tab A500. But as I mentioned, it could be wrong.
I never quote reviews as fact because 9/10 times they get a spec or 2 incorrect.
The question I have is that the model I bought from Best Buy says it is the A501 and the SKU says 3G... Is this just a mistake in the softwae version or could I be lucky and the 3G modem is there and I'm just missing the proper kernel and source to activate it?

Check the box itself for the actual model number. My software version says A500-501 and 3G as well, I think that's because the same software is going on both models, thus us Wifi only model's seeing Cell Standby in the software.
If the box says Model A501 however, then you may be lucky though I have no idea how or who you'd activate it with since the Iconia A501 hasn't been released to any carrier afaik. ATT is supposed to get them this summer from what I remember reading.
L Sensor
what is L sensor mentioned in the spec ?

can someone please settle the debate whether the a500 has ddr-2 or ddr-3?

Tegra-2 doesn't support DDR3, so there's no debate!

Just bought the Note 4 (Exynos chip) and just noticed some people are talking about there is a dedicated audio chip inside it ?! That make me remember that the first time I connected a headphones into my Note 4 the sound was AWESOME! (Coming from an iPhone 5s user).
So is there any benefits from that? One more thing I just saw an article about the Note 4 is the first "Android device" that supports iRig devices?!

Yep wait for an awesome kernel (perseus) to be working properly with some audio mods and it'll unleash the potential of this dac

I could not find any relevant info about the NFC support in Nokia 6, If it has it, it would be perfect phone for the buck.
In the specs on the official web they have NFC as yes, but from design and teardown video
I can not see any NFC antenna. Does that mean, the Chinese version does not have NFC and global version will have it or is it just an error in specs?
Can somebody from the lucky owners confirm whether or not the phone has NFC?

No NFC. There's nothing in the settings, and just to be sure I didn't miss it I installed some NFC apps and they'll just say my phone doesn't support NFC.
I accidentaly looked at Nokia.com for the specs of th ephone and for my surprise under the international english the phone has
Sensors Accelerometer (G-sensor), ambient light sensor, e-compass, Hall sensor, fingerprint sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, NFC (sharing)

when switch to Hong Kong english the specs differ
Data connection/sensor
Micro USB (USB 2.0), OTG, 3.5mm ADJ headphone jack, light sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer (gravity sensor), digital compass, gyro, front fingerprint sensor

There is still hope for the NFC
Well it seems, we will have a NFC version of the phone. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/04/silver-colored-nokia-6-now-available-pre-order-china.html
Anyone ordering the 64GB Silver version?
Unfortunately no galileo support, since the Snapdragon 430 does not support it. HMD is stupid to build a phone on old SD430, instead of SD435.
Anyone have nokia 6 model TA-1003 and can post spec on that model.
4g/lte band supported
nfc
and what else is different from that model and the coming global model?
it seem some on ebay and some at other sites, have different spec about supported bands,and nfc, but all lists as TA-1003
would like to know what is the right spec, before i eventually buy a nokia 6 TA 1003 mod.
F. Eks Amazon list modell ta 1003 with nfc an more supported bands than dealextreme list on that same model.
Anyone know what the right spec is?
I found several spec sheets that claim differently.
I understand that the SNAPDRAGON QUALCOMM Model supports Qualcomm Aptx-HD.
And Quickcharge qualcomm 3.0
that SM-G950F i dont know if supports.
nobody?
nobody?
I don't know for sure but what notice 2 days I'm having the Exynos variant is that sound quality while using my LG Tone Platinum Bluetooth stereo is better with Galaxy S8 compared to my Axon 7.

there is a definite difference between using my aptx capable $15 bluetooth headphones vs using the supplied "$99" headphones that sound like complete crap compared to the cheap bluetooth. I'm using the exynos so im guessing something is working right.

Try wearing the stock / AKG headphones upside down, with the cable facing up and going behind your ear - it locks into your ear canal and boosts bass and increases isolation
People on the internet claim Samsung uses top notch Wolfson DAC's in it's Exynos variants. How true is it for this device?
Late answer is better than none:
Never heard about anything special with the DAC. But the weakest link in the chain should be the tiny headset jack, often had problems with these like noise or fading volume on one channel.
