I found NFC, better voice quality because of 2 mics and a compass as the main features that the N9 has over the N900. (And the 1GB RAM, of course ...)
Nice list.

1. What a about battary. Could be nice in the list as well.
power and changeable or not.

2. front cam or not.

For me the Reasons to buy a N9 could be:

- Meego
- nice and modern UI
- Navigation out of the box
- slim Design
- Gorilla glass
- better battery
- fast camera
- digital compass


What I don't like so much is:
- battery can't be changed
- In fact there are some N900-Apps that I really like and it would be bad for me, if they will be not available for the N9.

Although I like the N900 for it's Hardware Keyboard, the Slim Design of the N9 would be more important for me. Because I think that I can become accustomed to typing on a virtual keyboard (for the quantity of text I am usually typing).

I will buy the N9, here are my reasons:

- Love the OS and UI
- Core/build in apps seem reasonable
- Build quality seems solid
- Design is very aesthetically pleasing
- It has decent specs

I don't think it will be my main phone, at least within 6 months of its release... what with early OS build and less-than-strong 3rd party support.

those features are all in open source community apps for N900. Harmattan is a full linux os just like fremantle, so they're a simple compile away. yes, the N9 can do those things.

Hmm in which case it sounds more promising,

Still not sure about the lack of hw keyboard, I hate typing on a touchscreen.......

Maybe i'll wait for a few months after release to see what the feedback is.

Surely someone will manufacture a case that includes a small bluetooth or usb-enabled keyboard?

Something like this:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/e66e/

Maybe even include extra power/communication hw or other goodies too...

If so, we'd end up with a much better option than the n950.

True actually, I like the look of the case with keyboard builtin.
hmmm might to buy one in the future and get the tools out to make it fit the N9 : )

Can you find a similar case for the Nokia N8? If not, then you probably know where I'm going with this.

I'm buying one because I like the UI, plain and simple.

if WP phones share the form factor, the N9 will get more accessories thant the N900.
