Meh. It's got Swype, and I should probably start learning to use an on-screen keyboard. The world isn't gonna wait for us to be convinced of a technology most other people are happy with.

Can't get behind this one. I don't need my phone to have specs that only a small nuclear power plant could power for a day on. Harmattan looks snappy on the hardware, which should be enough. Good hardware design is about more than just specs.

Again, this is a trade off between good design and practicality - and I must say my phone battery only leaves its' slot when I've botched something and can't turn the thing off.

As you can tell, I'm pretty impressed by the N9. The keyboard is a disappointment, but I think it's time I accepted that touchscreen keyboards are a big part of the future of phones and tablets - and started to learn how to use them better.
