Define outdated? Dual core is not everything. Efficient programming and good use of resources is (Qt). N9 has all features even more than all current high end phones. Confusing UX - you're kidding, RIGHT (a monkey could swype)? Expandable memory, 64GB - not enough? Screen is perfect, it makes the phone actually usable with one hand; remember, it's a phone, needs to be pocketable also (galaxy note on the other hand...). You say N9 lacks a keyboard and yet you mention buying an iPhone or new androids. I could go on all day... Pricing is perfect, perfect innovative OS, with high end features. What good is a dual core when all games run on a single core 600MHz device? Plus, N9 has what N900 lacked to become a perfect device, REAL 1GB of RAM.
