I agree... although a slightly more "up to date" CPU would have been appreciated (even a 1.2GHz). This is ignoring the fact that we have no idea what the current 1GHz CPU on the N9 will clock to comfortably yet of course (if at all possible, otherwise the "up to date" comment becomes all the more relevant).

HWKB is a personal preference; while I won't flat out say "NO" to a device without one, I'd definitely prefer one with!!! Up until the launch I'm sure most of us were hoping for the best after some "rumours" in the N9 anticipation thread with regards to Haptikos.

Are you sure about that? There were a number of comments in the anticipation thread about the hardware NOT being present. I'm sincerely hoping you are right about this because the FMTx is one of the features I will miss most if I were to switch to an N9 from an N900.

TBH, I haven't used ANY of the video out capabilities of ANY of the phones I've ever owned (I'm probably the odd one out judging by the number of people hoping for HDMI). Possibly DLNA could fill the gap left by the missing HDMI port? I've always gone NAS -> N900, but I'm fairly certain the other way around is possible as well (wireless network being the limiting factor).

The pros and cons seem to even out - a sidegrade device IMHO - at least until further testing and information is available.
