It depends on the price. It got about the same specs as my now 1 year old (since launch) Samsung Wave. The UI on the N9, although cooler and much more ingenious, does not look faster or smoother than the Wave, but the N9 includes much more functionality in terms of (usable and value adding) apps. The wave is still popular, but that is mostly due to the price and the fact that no better Bada phones has entered the market. All in all, it is about the same ballpark as the Wave, and must be priced in the same ballpark around 300 €
