well i dont own one yet, but i did manage to have a play on one in a shop for about 30 mins.
its fast, no doubt about that. its very smooth, its bright. the unit itself is very slim and sleek. you want to own it just looking at it.
didnt like the browser for some reason... it was fast and html5. didnt feel right or give me enough options ? not sure. it worked well.
contact list is quirky. its more similar to android/ios than maemo which i really like.
didnt like the non landscape mode on most of the built in apps.
didnt like how it handled the app screen where it was the only place you could close a running app, and only after a hold down to bring up the close gadgets on each app. this seems confusingly illogical as it should already be there on that screen like the n900 where you can close any app at any time.
adjusting settings.. there is plenty of those in there but its too iphone/android feeling now.
although i hate touch screen typing, it was very accurate and gave feedback which helped. promising, but i still want a keyboard.
want to know the battery life on it...
now all im waiting to do is for it to come down in price a little. importers and ebay are making a right joke of the price

I uninstalled that, replaced it with the paid version. It now runs as smooth as glass.
The battery life seems to be improving (I got the phone late Monday). On Thursday I ran through the entire day and ended with over 30% battery left. I was offline from my usual IM sites and had increased the interval for email checking (between 8 and 6) because I was at a developer phone camp (at Nokia in Sunnyvale, CA - but run by Microsoft).
It was fun having the N9 there - I had the best looking phone in the room. I had my HTC HD7 with me too - didn't want to annoy the presenters too much

And how are the photo's compared to N900? I read that the iPhone 4s takes better photo's , which would be a shame.

N9 seems to take great daylight photos, but struggle in low light surrounding compared to some other good camera phones.

About freezing I've already encountered it twice but under what I consider reasonable circumstances: once right after I installed and ran an app from my ISP, and another once when I was messing around with apps and developer mode stuff. I like picking my things apart, but "normal" operations, in my experience so far, have been perfectly fine and flawless.

I suspect that when I schedule everything hourly they all happily start syncing at the same time instead of staggering it, so while that is happening in the background I'd see lagging animations, and when it's done I'd be back to smoothness - with the same number of apps running.

I usually only keep 3 apps open through the day (calendar, checklist, music player), but I've had short periods with 6-7 apps open with everything running comfortably.
