Sounds like this will be your main gadget and N900 is purely for linux-kicks. In that case the N9 just flat out fails in all categories. Clear Black = No it just regular ol' AMOLED Sexy design = Very questionable, and quite dull Polycarbonate = Cheap plastic Very Intuitive UX = Not as intuitive as iOS or Android (you customize your way) Top quality = Handtec problem ... so you could just grab a "cheap" 16GB iPhone 4 if you wanted to, as long as your keeping the N900. If you aren't planning on keeping the N900 then perhaps you can still consider the N9 if they crack it and make it as unique as the N900 (Aegis:shrugs)
