@cue, @bbin and @everyone else banging on about HSPA+ you both miss the point. the comparison is subjective. so what he marked the N9 as better, you can argue that it doesn't have HSPA+ or that it has pentaband etc. but the real difference is how good the antenna is. if your signals crap you can't do **** with it anyway. because of the materials used the n9 has a better signal then all/most phones available, this has been mentioned here on this tread with quotes from testers etc. now lets end the argument now or make a new thread and argue there. you'd swear it was important someone's view was updated to your own. Personally it's not that easy to break down which is the better phone. it's about the user requirements and the phones ability to meet them. no offence meant but ya need to take it to another thread or just stop.
