Personally I'll stay with my (second) N900 for now. N9 would be awesome but it's twice the price I'd pay for the hardware that is built in. My ideal phone would be 4.x" with 720p screen (non-pentile subpixel arrangement), dual-core cpu, 1GB+ ram.

It's a shame that there are so many android phones with such great hardware and the n9 keeps struggling behind with almost the same cpu as the N900 and a pentile screen while it's still too expensive.
