Actually I never tried the N900 for video's. So for all I know it could be very well the case that the N900 playback performance is as bad as the N9.

The N8 is more inviting for video's because it could HDMI stream to a TV, where the N900 TV out was a blurry mess.

and the N9 is tempting for video watching as well because of the nice built in display (for video).

The matured N900 should have the advantage of having support for more codecs, but does it play back anything smoothly, I guess you know the answer better.

N-Series non HD video playback performance:
2009 - 2010 - 2011
N900 < N8 <(?) N9
