To answer the question; no N9 for me.
N950 -- is a maybe, because it is a beta/development device.
If these were released last year the answer would've been "FU CK YEA"

Major gripes:
-no qwerty/gamepad (hehe)
-I dislike side-edge-to-screen swiping because it means no protective case
-Also means its accident prone for doodling apps/swiping apps (like fruit ninja or Swype)
-I prefer the UX from WebOS or MIUI
-There is less development from community as opposed to WebOS/Android (afaik)
-Nokia has promised for abandonement

... so Android is most likely to suceed Maemo5 for me, but I will keep an open mind.
They have not promised abandon. They have said "future disuptions!" And remeber this is comming from one person and it can change. No one, including myself, knows what that really could mean its just pure speculation!

I will for sure buy this step 5 device.

And less development depends on what you mean. Qt is used on desktop too and I am sure when people start to learn QtQuick they realise how simple it is too write apps on this mobile platform too.

Btw. Readed somewhere that python will be allowed in Ovi too thats awesome cause many dev prefer Python over C/C++ means even more apps.
