Swype or no swype doesn't matter.

I prefer the internal storage over the external as the information is store is secure if device itself has a lock.

NFC etc are of no use to me, i am happy to pay around $500 for n9 but not $700-$800 as is being currently advertised by some sellers here in Oz.

My next one should be a SII but i will wait till some reviews come out for n9 meanwhile n900 goes with me everywhere.
Cheapest SII's around in Australia ATM are about $600.
If the N9 hit's $700 I reckon it's pretty close value-wise.
I've already come across 64GB N9's that are $749, no doubt someone will hit $700.

And value aside, as a smartphone I suspect it'll be just as good (if not better) overall.
But the jury's still (FFS hurry-up Nokia!) out on that one.
Until we finally have the retail product available for detailed comparison w/a SII.
