-What about:
CPU speed?
Keyboard quality?

I think this is just a minor updating of hp49g+, 1 MB more flash
memory, 1 more AAA battery... same old OS, Screen, design, math
functions, etc...

The most interesting thing is RS232 compatibility for me, I thinking to
buy some hp48gII because my actual 49g+ is not programmable like data
collector or someting

They seem to have a new photo of their own,
showing a detailed menu for choosing among internal applications:

If they made their own photo, might they have it in stock right now?

Well, apparently not ready to ship, for the red "status" symbol
indicates "momentan nicht lieferbar" ("momentarily unavailable")

The 48gII has almost RS-232 compatible I/O. From what I
understand, its signal levels are 3.3V/0V at the calculator port
itself, and it relies on a level-switcher built in to the cable to
get them to RS-232 levels. The level switching hardware relies on
being able to "steal" power from other lines in a 9-pin port, so
it won't work with a "3-wire" type RS-232 device, although by all
reports that I've seen, it does work with a standard COM port on a
PC. One could, at least in theory, make an externally-powered
adapter to go between the 48gII's cable and the other RS-232
device, and supply the power for the level-switcher.

The RS-232 on the 50g may turn out to be like the "RS-232" on the
48gII. I suppose that we'll have to wait until someone tries one
out to find out for certain.

It may be that HP wants to sell off some of the remaining stock of
the 49g+ (and 48gII?) before announcing a replacement.

Of course, now the cat's been let out of the bag, and noticed by
at least some.

The 49G always had 2MB of Flash... 1MB being used by the OS in the 49G
and 1.2MB being used in the 49g+
