Umm. Have you owned an Android/iPhone device. Don't act so blind.
Yes, it is overblown but at the same time, but it's still better than N900/N9.

N900 lacks in apps no matter how nice we try to put it: (well, maybe not for us geeks but it is the case if you were to give it to your non-techy friends/relatives) You get more choice when you have more apps. Such as having the choice to choose from at least 10 really good commercial quality music players with auto cover art, lyrics etc and looks much prettier to boot. Same for apps to read comics, commercial apps that many others use such Whatsapp, Viber, Kakaotalk (nearly all Koreans) etc etc. Then we go to games. The sheer number of choice in latest touch phone games is huge. I'm no gamer so I don't care about this but many people that Nokia is targetting the N9 will care about this. I also have 2 young kids and the amount of education/kids related apps/games on Android/iPhone is 1000 times better. There are times when it's needed to keep them quiet and it works. =P

In saying all of this, I also do have most of apps I need on my N900. I wish it could just play HD videos and have a faster CPU with more RAM. Woould be perfect if so.

btw, I only recommend Android/iPhone to my parents, wife, sister, cousins etc as 99.999% of Nokia phones do not support Korean read/write natively. Heck, I live in Australia and 99% of Nokia phones don't support CJK out of the box. (so not just Korean but nearly alienating all of Asians and I though there were quite a few Asians in the world last time I checked) You had to hack it, install font router etc to even be able to display asian fonts on older models and good luck trying to input it even with the new Symbian^3 phones like the N8/E7 bthat I have. (if lucky enough, can flash via pheonix/navifirm to other country firmware but is this what Nokia wants us to do?) I got confirmation from Quim that N9 doesn't support Korean either. So I can only laugh when Nokia says they are "Connecting People". (There are only around 60 million Koreans in the world so maybe there aren't enough of us for Nokia to care..)

Now, just like the N900 when I first got it, I have to request other devs in hope to be able to create a Korean input system for N9. If not, N9 becomes quite useless to me for "connecting to people" I most care about. It's the "fun" I go through everytime buying a Nokia phone......

So yeah, at least Nokia will be doing one thing good for me by going to WP7. At least WP7 supports my language. How sad.
