OK, sorry for not getting that. I then suggest us to expand the talk into comparing the N9 not only with the N950, but also maybe the pegasus, the gryphon, pink unicorns and other interesting although non-purchasable/unattainable creatures!

I actually never managed to get a BT keyboard for myself. Neither a BT GPS, or a very large SD card (stopped at 4GB). I only started tethering my N800 to a phone for 3G access on-the-move very recently.

I think that was part of the N800 concept... It is cheaper because it doesn't have a hwkb, GPS, 3G, a decent camera and neither a lot of memory. You (at least me) buy it promising to get all these enhancements afterwards (on a cool S40 phone e.g. the 7020), but you end up buying nothing. By including all that in the package, the company kind of forces you into getting to this higher level of existence...

A few days after I bought my N800, and that was more than one year after it was released, I show it to some friends, explained that it was like-an-iphone-but-it-has-just-wifi-no-3G, and one guy said: "nah, why didn't you get a PSP?". I was furious, because it's obvious you can't compile and alternative kernel to the PSP. (I only learned later it's actually hard for the N800 because of the components that still haven't made to the mainline kernel.) But he kind of had a point... If I had shown him an N900, or maybe even the N810, he wold have never said that.

So, getting back on topic, which one is less like a PSP, the N9 or the N950?
