What´s all this stress and race for nothing really about?
I assume most of you guys still have your N9s, just like I do...and I assume you´re still enjoying it pretty much...just like I do...
and we all know we chose it and still use it on purpose...the purpose of having something DIFFERENT...something you see every morning without feeling miserable that you´re just another mass-market sheep as are probably 9 of 10 people you know...
Comparing to anything available at the moment, the N9´s swipe UI is by far the most amazing phone experience. Its usability has been polished a lot with PR1.2 update. If the PR1.3 properly fixes some outstanding bugs and has already been defined, it´s even better...I honestly don´t need to even think about any other smartphone for at least a year...
so what´s the big deal of constant fights whether the OS is or is not "dead"? It´s still highly competitive, usable and very much alive OS in our pockets...and that´s that...
