Congrats on your new purchase!
I think both the N9 and the 808 offer something unique and you can't go wrong with either of them. The N9 is a little long in the tooth but everyone must experience Swipe UI atleast ONCE in their life, and you won't regret it.
N9 camera is below average in low light and awesome in proper light. Also, (as hellasisgreece said), macros are mind blowing. Depth of field is good and gives a nice bokeh effect.
Upgrade to PR 1.3 version before you start off.
Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and the update icon.
Congrats again and a warm welcome to the community

Unfortunately there is no extras on harmattan. Nearest thing is rzr's community repository and apps for meego.

Yeah what took you so long, generally it's the bitter ex N900 owners that reject the N9, knowing it's heritage.
There was a N950 on eBay for GBP325 a few days back that you missed, damaged but usable screen though, I assume it was actually sold.
Apps wise look for (I think there's an actual thread for this but anyways):
Apart from that, make sure you set up track and protect, I highly recommend finding some relevant RSS feeds to take full advantage of the feed screen, I never used feeds before having an N9 but have never looked back.
Maybe search the forum for customisation ideas, operator logo, boot video, homescreen settings backgrounds etc.
Any of the above apps you can't find in the Nokia Store are probably located right here on TMO, speaking of app stores, try N9 Apps, and Apps For MeeGo.
This is in no way an exaustive list of good apps, just the notable ones i picked out that are installed on my phone.

- Filebox.
- EasyList.
- The Flashlight.
- Meecast.
- Nano.
- N9 QTweak - most of the tweaks you could think of in one place, but read manual
should install catch apps through N9 QTweak so that you don't have to worry about 5x download limit in Nokia store. - Opptimizer - if / when you get the urge to overclock.
- Conky.
- Battery Usage.
- Call recorder.
- Call blocker.
- Firefox (for flash).
- Opera (for full desktop experience minus flash).
- Homescreen settings.
- CuteTube.
- Open video player.
- Phone Counter (never rely on sneaky networks for your call / data usage 24-48 hours late again).
- Easy Debian!!!

Last question, for now:
Going through the tweaks, installing the repos, etc etc. Very swish, thank you to everyone who has done this hard work.
I use windows 7 64bit, mainly because of phoenix/navfirm, and office... should i install kubuntu again? Does having a linux installation have any benefits over a windows one, on the lappy?

The only benefit as an user is a linux distro allows you to fix your phone if it enters MALF state (to enter this it meant you managed to screw it quite a bit)...Otherwise everything else works with 7 64-bit...

That you can ssh out of the box and exchange files with the phone through nautilus (probably dolphin too).
sure of course you can find apps to do that on windows
