I came from an N8, all I agree with is the pictures are decent, it's not breathtaking like the N8's but decent. I've been busy playing around with the camera on the N9, to see what the best settings are, but otherwise nothing too amazing, everything else about the phone is nothing short of breathtaking. If we could get the LED indicator working on the N9, a whatsapp messenger, and my bank would let me use it on their network, id be set for a few years to come...
