Would be very awesome if someone managed to port android 4.0 ics to N9. That's like, icing on the cake?

But why? It isn't as if there is a shortage of Android phones to choose from.

In addition, Android probably wouldn't run nearly as well on the N9 as the native OS does. You will lose the cool swipe UI and the nice way it handles multitasking. Basically most of the things that distinguish the N9 would go away except its looks.

So in the end all you will have is a nice-looking but somewhat under-powered Android phone. Seems like a lot of trouble for little reward.

I think there may be some bias in this forum on that score :)

(unless u install a custom launcher, like spb 3d shell or go launcher EX).

and taskswitching wont get fixed until ICS release

If N9 has a better camera. But it lacks HD recording at 1080P and despiting having Carl Zeisis Optics in this 8MP Mega Shoutout. Galaxy S2 turned out to be runner. So what all good features does N9 camera offers over Galaxy 2 camera?

I know Meego is a superior OS compared to Android. But when we compare camera its pure hardware base.

I know, its said in jest.

As for camera, doesnt the SW dictate a lot? I mean, consider the N900 stock camera app to what it came to be, iirc it was quite a difference?

Lol, it IS cheap plastic if my experience with Samsung wave is anything to go by. S2 feels flimsy, which means wouldnt last long.
Any phone device that dont feel solid when I hold it will bye2 rather fast in my hands. :p:p
