I'm in the same boat, but sadly, despite low prices on the N9, I find myself leaning towards Android lately, because of apps mostly. It is true 90% of the apps is junk but there are quite a few jems in the remaining 10%. I wish I could use mobile web-sites to compensate for the lack of apps on the N9 but it's not always an option, and the available ones are often a PITA to use and do not offer full functionality. Speaking from owning an N900 for over 3 years, which I plan to keep still. Another factor is that you cannot get N9 with warranty in the US as it was never officially released here. Most likely will be getting a Sony Xperia Acro S, it can be had for around $400 now, not cutting edge but it will work for my needs. Full-size SIM card, microSD slot, and moisture protection count as good features on my list.
