Can you spot the difference between these two models on the photo? Do not try as it is not there.
N9 has a bigger screen, as evident in the picture. Also theres the lack of front facing camera, which we also see in the picture. Not sure if we see the charging LED, and Im not sure if both phones have one.

Thats just in the picture. Other than that theres 1 less HW key on the N9 from the Lumia 800 and different LED flash placement.

for example you cannot upload photos in the Twitter app
You can with the latest FW.

but the user experience is inferior to that of modern Symbian solutions
Not that Ive found, at least. But its nothing specifically mentioned here, so hard to argue.

The speaker is not loud enough to hear the phone calls from pockets.
Not true. At least not true in my pockets, dont know what kind of stuff he has going on though.

although it is not quite clear what is done when it’s active – it turns down the brightness level but it surely must do something else.
It does. IIRC its even in the phones manual.

the OS decided on its own which app to stop and N9 cannot do that which is a real downer. Some reader who saw how many apps were running in my N9 commented angrily that it was not a fair comparison but they seemed to have forgotten that other OS do the job automatically. Users should not worry about how many apps are running at the moment and which ones they should close – the device should be working for users not vice versa.
I disagree. If you open a shitton of programs on your computer, thats basically the same thing isnt it? I close stuff I dont use, and its easier to close than on android/symbian/ios: swipe down.
