I got my N9 yesterday and I happy to report it is working great! No dead pixels, no mic issues, no speaker issues, everything is running smoothly, and the battery was undrainable! Seriously! I was so scared at first but I'm very pleased now. Let's hope it stays that way (knock on wood).
Just wanted to let everyone know it's not all that bad.

Edit- Oh god the keyboard just fell apart!

Edit- Just kidding!
