I have the N950, and even so I think I will get the N9 when I have the money to do so. Probably I'm just the minority here, but I find the vkbd easier to use (at least on N950) than the tiny keys of these kinds of mobile devices. There's no way I can do 10-finger typing with either hwkbd or vkbd. With that advantage gone, the vkbd feels easier and faster for me. The only thing I'm missing is the lack of arrow keys in vkbd, and that could be fixed in updates.

And having both N950 and N9 would not be a waste I think. Then I could solely use N950 for development and testing stuff, without fearing I would mess up something in the phone I use for day-to-day stuff.

I'm really liking this OS. I've tried to introduce the device as a new member of the family, but the wife resists. I think I'll never undestand women.
