I like the specs on the N9, but without a keyboard it's a no go. Too hard to use Linux without access to a cli, and if there's a cli, you need a keyboard.

But the larger issue for me is that I'm not going to buy ANY new hardware until the AT&T&T merger goes through, since I'll likely need to buy new hardware at that point no matter what happens (unless the merger is blocked, which seems very unlikely). I have to think there's a lot of US customers in the same boat.
