I was an N900 user, but I switched. Now, I'd like to come back. I don't have the money for Jolla phone, so the choice is either N9 or N900. Which one is better (better as in better community support, wider choice of software, usability etc., not tech specs)?

N900 is cooler than both n9 and Jolla.

everything about the n900 is MUCH MUCH better:
+Software
-fenix email client on n9 BLOWS SO HARD
-open nat modules {foss mobilehotspot}
-modrana {harmattan port doesnt have nav yet}
-meecolay for anything else, i guess, but havent used it

+hardware
-keyboard, obv
-storage {32gb+64gb microsd > 64gb}
-radios and sensors {fm transmitter}
-way more accurate resistive touch screen
{also, usb port isnt an issue if you deal with it before board breakage}

+community
-cssu
-various kernel update projects
-neo900 / fremantle task force


....except for two killer features that both push me over the edge.
1) no low power screen. i LUUURRRV my lps on the n9
2) cpu and ram

lens cover, stylus, el-v1.db instead of tracker.db {n9 has serious tracker bugs that seemingly affect everyone someday}

i feel like i could keep this up forever

N900 is (nowadays) more geeky.
N9 is 'nicer' and 'more mainstream' (than N900; mainstrem == Android).

The problem: N9 is slowly dying (because of it's 'mainstreamness').
N900 absolutely not (Neo900, CSSU, etc.etc.).

So: N900. for sure...

N9? It was really an afterthought, while N900 was a gradual evolution from N700 and above.......If only NOKIA developed N1000.............
