Don't remember. Luckily you did. Did I do the same about the N900? Please shoot me if so.

But where exactly would you define day one of the N9?

You really think one can't make an educated statement about simple tech stuff based on experience, hardware facts, previews and intuition? Well ok then.


Anyway not expecting to like all of it, I did buy the N9 because out of gadget curiosity and Maemo fanboyism.

That makes me more "nerd buys number x mobile device" than I was during purchase of my first N900.

Credibility in above post of mine is not what I am looking for as I basically state to agree with OP what he writes.

And what he writes is verifiable when you put N900 and N9 next to each other.

If you don't feel what he is talking about then maybe you wanted to like the N9 too much from day one Happy you.

Wake up, the N900 has set the bar pretty high regarding interface design.

Unless you are a "dev" and have some reason to promote the N9, I suggest you raise your own bar a few levels and don't swallow that unbalanced interface design that easily.

Because it's almost 2012 and we are moving backward.

The N9 is a fun phone, but it's not the embodiment of today's mobile computing future that the N900 projected.
