As I mentioned in the beginning of the thread, that time has arrived that I upgrade, I have to choose between Lumia 1020 or GS4, as much as I love Nokia products, I just may take the Android first time in my life...... Having used my friend's Note II for some days, the availability of Apps and Speed really got me hooked..... Especially Banking Apps which I use the most in business.... Now I noticed Lumia still lacks this type of Apps, I love the camera though.... And I don't have enough faith in Jolla, banking apps etc..
Why don't you consider buying a BlackBerry Z10 or Q10 (or wait a little bit until the larger Z30 is available)? It is incredibly fast, the UI is very well-thought, the Hub combined with the best virtual keyboard make the phone very, very efficient. It just feels great, especially with the recent software updates. Not to mention how great it feels to be away from The Google Network...
And if you really need more apps, you can still load most Android apps. And the best thing: MeeRun has been ported (it is called CascaRun)
Since I don't have the luxury of money, I have to either wait for a chance to upgrade (which is probably when my N9 dies) or have to swap it off for another phone.
That being said, I am disgusted at how people in my country (yes) underrate the N9 and its Harmattan UX, not considering it on par with other 2010-2011 model 2nd hand Android phones. Yes, there are apps and limitations, but asking me for a swap of my N9 complete with box and other stuff + 70 USD (which is ~3000 bucks in my place) for your measly Android unit ONLY is overkill. And the fact that it is Nokia, they dislike it.
OT: Why wouldn't just Nokia break off the MS Deal, then go to creating Android phones? =_= Let's see how it would go you ******* /rant.
(You guys won't get a good UX as this!)
That being said, I'm thinking if I should swap my N9 to an Incredible S (because even the S2 price is too high). I've become attached to the Harmattan UI (and to the Organizer Feed :P), but I think it's time to move on.
The Z10 has now the same price as the S2 and some parts of the UI will remind you of the Harmattan UX. I personally cannot understand the love for Android phones, that's the most boring system I have ever seen...

Both iOS and Android are boring! Love the BB10, the native software are very elegant. But it's not as tweakable as Harmattan. Also I missed a physical QWERTY + Large screen combination on N950, I wish BB can release a slider this year.
