Rumors tell us that even S40 devices are going to have high-score (in benchmarks) CPU. Still, no way to productively use those - same apply to N9.

It's somehow like comparing console/computer. You can put a s**t hardware into console, but still, due to various manufacturer (design) decisions, You won't get 10% of computer (even with "lower" benchmark-rated hardware) functionality. Not to mention being upgradeable (see my signature about mugen-cover-power, and dr_frost_dk's dual-battery mod - try that with "shiny new toy" N9...).

N9 could use new advertising motto - "N9 - pay more, get less". Yea, N950 *was* meant at some point to be next generation N900, but due to various (CEO related, or not) things in Nokia, it was dumped down to N9. We've been through discussing about it so many times, that I almost feel ashamed of mentioning it again.

For any reasonable person, N900 is obvious choice, and there is no - even on far horizon (unfortunately) - device that may offer similar experience. Of course, it's still Freedom of Choice, so anyone is free to spend hard(or not) earned money on whatever she/he like.
