Nokia Lumia 800 and N9 [...] (ZDNet)
[...]
Here is why the N9 is for me

After using the Lumia 800 for a day, I am happy to say that it makes my Nokia N9 purchase even more valid and justifiable. Here is why I personally prefer the N9 over the Lumia 800 for use in the U.S. on T-Mobile:

* 3G data on T-Mobile, AT&T, and around the world (a true Nokia world phone)
* Double tap to turn on display without needing to ever press the on/off button
* Multi-tasking beast where I have had over 27 apps running at once with a slick display to switch between them
* Time shown on black screen when locked (sometimes the simple things mean a lot)
* Awesome swipe to go to a notification (starting to get bothered by no real meaningful notifications in Windows Phone)
* Integrated services and ability to interact with them (WP has many of these too, but MeeGo still does it better)
* Swype keyboard is coming soon, along with other great updates not delayed by carriers
* Being part of a very enthusiastic community of a device that the community refuses to let die out
