Well all people who have bought one and commented here have been loving it.

I pretty much collect phones at the rate i buy them every year and in years time actually using tens of phones i have stopped spec whoring.
My Iphone 4 is smoother than my GS2, not to even talk about GS. Hell my Zune HD with old tegra is smoother than any of my Andoid or Nokia phones.

Apple unfortunately again is the only manufacturer that really is getting it imo. Specs on the phone always mirror the performance of the device. This could not be further from the truth on Android. Though what the specs always bring are things like 1080 playback, better video recording, even on Android.

N9 is niche device Nokia will sell in selected market. There seems to be people who wanna pay the extra amount for it, so let them.
I'm waiting for my ridiculously costly N9 64GB, that costed exactly as much as iphone 4 32GB did for me.
