There are things I simply can't do on the N9, but hope to be able to do as time goes on and more software is released. Eventually I expect that the choice will then go the other way - again with a heavy heart.
I guess I feel lucky I don't have to make this choice.
There's some nasty bugs that can cause considerable battery drain under the right conditions.
But it depends entirely on the config/usage scenarios.
First thing I'll do once I get my White 64GB N9...*
Is do a tear-down and doco that in more depth than the service manual.
I will probably doco it all over at iFixti.com....
Before doing so I'll look into alternative batteries & panels.
It'll be interesting if replacing either is feasible, doubtful.
*if the freaking thing is ever order-able in Australia!?

The 2 big things for me is an usefull GPS program while driving and the fact that is pentaband.
I love my n900, is great but I feel i can never trust the device when I need something quick and away from home.

Being in the UK I have no practical means of getting an N9 here, therefore I have ripped away the keyboard from my N900, glued the battery cover to the chassis, and removed my SD card and set Hildon to fixed portrait mode. I've also installed the manky new system font and deleted most of my useful applications.
Now I have an N9.

As I've said almost everywhere, the only drawback is the camera on the N9, otherwise I am more than satisfied with it
You're not really planning to buy an N9 are you? I get the feeling you were bored at work or something...

Nokia N9 is IMHO the best touch-only smartphone for Linux users :
- real Linux, see :
Fremantle x Harmattan Beta3 comparison
- excellent X terminal with virtual keyboard with Tab, Ctrl, arrows, etc. Even better, Swype has a mode with more controls :
http://everythingn9.com/advanced-key...ions-nokia-n9/
- ssh client and server, "ssh -X" works, etc;
- Python with plenty of modules :
http://wiki.maemo.org/Python/Harmattan
N900 is better due to its real keyboard and being more open : chroot, Easy Debian, etc.

The N9 is sexy... All you have to do to convince yourself is just hold it in your hands, look into its screen...and you will fall in love.
People will stare at it in the bus and the streets, lol. Where with the N900 they just go "eww look at that 1980s beast!"
And this is from a guy that *HATES* virtual keyboards mind you, lol.
