Sure. It's a different kind of device but it has superior hardware (USB OTG, camera, HDMI etc), a portrait keyboard that everyone wants, support, upgrades, apps. It is a very decent phone.

I would miss my N900, but then when mine broke i just bought a new one anyway, so when my upgrade comes i'll still have it. Truth be told if Nokia's WP7 hasn't improved the OS and my network don't offer the N9, the N8 will be my next phone.

Anyway it's a pretty pointless thread because it's personal preference. Nokia will be supplying a phone of similar value and of superior quality in some areas, so there can't be complaints about the action. It just depends on whether people like the phone.
