I've been watching and drooling over the N9 like everybody else. I've been thinking of taking the dive and dropping that giant wad of money on it, but I'm trying to find AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE before making the purchase. The truth is, I love my N900 still, but I really can't let the N9 slip by me and plus, I'm trying to show Nokia there are customers out there who want this phone. I just want to make sure I make a sound purchase because this phone is far too expensive to disappoint me. Plus, there's little to no US based electronic sellers for this phone if I wanted to go try it out it in person(will Nokia even accept a warranty claim from the US?), so I'll basically be bonded to this thing if I decide to go with it. I'm just wondering if a lot of the core things that made the N900 so awesome are still there like:
  • Petrovich and that whole sharing account tie-in
  • Pidgin Integration(for Facebook Chat, Skype, Google Talk, and AIM)
  • Joikuspot would be cool
  • Hermes(or an equivalent for pulling all your Facebook contacts into your phonebook with pictures of that contact)
  • A File Explorer
  • PDF Reader
  • And is the Conversations "paradigm" still there? Does it look at all your IMs and texts as the same thing?

I would imagine a lot of my other big things are covered with apps(like MussOrgsky, Pyradio, gPodder, cuteTube, FeedingIt, Evernote, DialCentral, and some others I'm probably forgetting). Now I just have to HOPE that those apps have been ported or there's an equivalent app that will do the job. Is there RAR, 7Z, and ZIP support? Those are real useful too.

I guess the easiest way to sum this up would be to ask: "Are there any previous N900 lovers that have converted to the N9? If so, what's the experience been like? What's missing and what's been greatly improved?"

Thanks in advance for any info!
