If that's the case, it'll probably be cheap (read plastic) and soft.
Oh ye of little faith. It's build quality will probably be similar to the 50mm f1.8, slightly better than the kit lens. Plastic body with a metal mount (the metal mount is currently listed in the specs). But I doubt it will be soft. An aspherical element is included in the design to correct aberrations and the aperture blades are rounded to acheive a more natural appearance of out of focus elements. Sounds to me like they've put a bit of effort into the optical design.
