i have seen user reviews for N9. it seems fantastic, not only software wise, but also hardware wise. So you are right. but it could be considered a top model or luxury phone I suppose and far superior in build to the Lumia and its price focus.
N900 is/was also extremely expensive over spec phone. almost a technology demonstration with no profit in mind. its like the developers could do anything they wanted and went mad and produced the very best possible product. same story for N9..
N9 is not for me though, I would rather have the N950. drewl.

“I know we have out simplified the iPhone.”Today I received an N810. It cost me £41, yet I would take it over the N9 any day of the week.

I hope that the majority vote on the Nokia Board of Directors is Finnish.
Closing down the factories in Europe was really the logical step. Nokia chose the path of being a OEM and all OEM stuff is done by 15 year old Asian peasant girls. It also pretty much finalised Nokia's tranformation. Pen pushers doing Excel calculations in Espoo and former T-shirt designers making pretty shells for generic MS products in London. Thats the new Nokia. Just the logo and nothing more.
No need to feel any sort of emotional attachment anymore, altough I doubt that the remaining few Nokia fanbois really care. The ones that still have the faith are so hardcore that nothing will stop their logo-worshipping.

Hopefully Elop will ship the HQ somewhere else so that I can get better view of Bay of Helsinki on my commute when I go past Keilaniemi. There are some lovely little island behind the building
My misty eyed views have been formed through experience of the great devices that Nokia has produced; and not least the huge respect I have for the people of Finland
