Simply telling me that it's a masterpiece is like so much pomp and circumstance without substance and elaboration. Ambiguity isn't convincing.

In the future I might have to consider a WP7 instead (which may very likely have incorporated many of the innovations of the N9 by then), but that future is not now. What I know is that the N9 will be a good companion to me for the foreseeable future, and everything after that is unforeseeable by definition.
That's the problem--I, like many who initially came here to use Maemo, didn't come here for a phone. We came here for a Linux distribution on a small handset device. A REAL Linux distribution, not another ME TOO iPhone/Android competitor. Even on the merits of being a phone hardware competitor, it's mostly a yawn-worthy device overall--so it doesn't really excite either crowd. Mind you, that's my view on it--so we'll see what time tells. I was right about the N900's chances to impress and be popular--it never took over anything anywhere, from what I've been told. Let's see what happens now with this new iteration.

IT'S NOT PINK! IT'S... oh right, you said that.
