The list could go on, but I think your claim has been sufficiently refuted. The duel between the iPhone and the N9 will be a worthy one. N9 is lacking the apps (and possibly future), but is clearly superior in many other regards.
Kanishou, thanks for all the info. I'm especially glad that browsing is good, even better than N900 you say. Excellent.

About your list, though. Can you please tell me why the no front-facing buttons thing is being advertised as something new and cool? (the N900 doesn't have them either...)?

Because the only reason I can think of, is that the iPhone DOES have a button on the screen. And judging by availability markets for the N9, I can't help but conclude there was only one thing Nokia was thinking about when designing this phone: the iPhone 4. And global markets where the iPhone hasn't taken the biggest share of smartphones yet.

And I highly doubt your list could go on and on....

I just didn't want an iPhone replacement, but an N900 replacement. And if Nokia is about to abandon this ecosystem (you know it will), I don't know why they didn't do it the N900 way. Sorry.
