Been caught up with finishing my dissertation...I didn't expect so many replies.
So I'm leaning towards the 808, as one poster suggested it's kind of like a swiss army knife. The e-mail not being sorted kinda sucks, but I sparingly e-mail people anyways.

It is good, the main thing I miss with it is the same kind of community that exists here, there's custom ROMS etc but it's just not as dynamic.
Theming is quite healthy, but amongst all the mods/twks/hacks one can do, that's an area that interests me least of all.

Where was he saying that the N9's overall SoC is much better, he was correcting a claim that the CPU's much stronger.
It's far weaker... Whereas it's GPU/DSP(s) are (of course) far stronger....

A dream list to which I was responding is on picking the better components so I stand by what I said the N9's CPU is better and if you manage to couple it with N808's GPU you'll get a much better combination that the N808's current combo...
Oh and the N9 chip can be over-clocked safely to 1.2Ghz so an A8 clocked at 1.2Ghz vs an A11 clocked at 1.3Ghz; I know which one I would pick...

Although I love the n9, that is one flaw I agree with you

And please elaborate on your assertion: "since most of the arm compiled stuff isnt all that heavily optimised"

already at 1 GHz / default frequency the N9 is getting tremendously hot even under light charge (couple browser windows open, one terminal, clipcache, netmon...)
i'm not sure it would still be comfortable holding it @ 1.2 GHz
either way, doubt the CPU would sustain that very long
Sounds like you've got a poor SoC/CPU OR one (or more) of the rogue processes that are triggered in certain circumstances (& mitigated or avoided entirely if you do some research).

My friend travelled overseas today, and I gave him cash to buy the 808! However, he doesn't find it...the N9/ Thanks for all the input guys!
I clearly mentioned about CPU to the poster who was saying:
