All good valid points. However, most of us on here who acquire one will be paying for the N9 ourselves.

I agree with Marxian's stance in theory:

...but not in practice, partly because I have faith that the N9 will end up being properly hackable, but mostly because I suspect that the N9 is the best fit for me in terms of an all day/every day phone. Yep, better than the N900 (which I still love, so please don't flame me). Of course I can't judge that until I have it in my hands (or sleep with it for 24 hours (wtf?!) or however else you're suppose to judge a phone these days). I took a leap of faith with the N900 too, and that worked out very nicely.

Finally: if Nokia are targeting corporate IT departments with the N9, they're not doing it very loudly. This gives me vague hope that Aegis won't be a showstopper for us.
