Thanks very much for the advice, and helping me decide. I want to play but still not waste time, and now I think it would be a disappointing waste. Yea, I had planned for Ubiboot, and my N9 is set up for it. I had been planning it for a very long time (dual booting with Ubiboot was still under active development and I was waiting for the quirks to be worked out but then got too busy to follow through).

I thought it would be cool to stick a second OS on to play with but honestly I mostly need phone, text, email, maps, weather, music, and the terminal apps to play with, and all of those things are great. Some things are still surprisingly functional, including Notekeeper (for Evernote) and qAndora (for Pandora). All my email accounts work well (including gmail and Exchange). And spoton so I have free hotspotting
