Re:Hand solderable 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 in TQFP package by nrp on Thursday April 26, 2012 @10:46PM (#3897263)
It's actually pretty simple to hand solder a TQFP by drag soldering. The key is to use plenty of flux and have solder braid handy to take care of any bridges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v...

It's sort of a moot point with this Cortex A8 IC though, because the RAM it needs only exists in a BGA package.
