Yes, boring compared to.

However thanks to the N9 being more closed than the N900, having less sharp display and especially it lacking a HWKB, I now learned to appreciate the N8 much more.

At release around 10/2010 I considered the N8 disappointing (no HWKB, E7 HWKB but no camera, internal battery, no share online, no Skype) but now I notice we are not moving forward with other devices and the N8 has matured into Anna and upcoming Belle so I chose to consolidate.

I love the hardware camera shutter button and Camera HD Pro program on the N8, the configurable desktops, the movie playback performance and general feeling of robustness.

Spend more time outside and less dwelling forums to see if anything move with the N9.

And last but not least:
Contrary to the N9, at this point in time I could just walk into a Hanoi Nokia Service Center and ask them nicely to switch my inferior purple tinted N8 display to one of the latest batch (MP40 serial if anyone interested), without discussion from Nokia side and being called delusional by other N8 fans

For serious mobile email typing and secure internet connections I use the N900.
Also my game Wagic does require input precision of the N900.

N9 -although I love the performance of Fennec thanks to 1GB RAM- is up for sale, will check back in a year what became of it after the Aegis has been neutralized.

I wish the N9 will not take the light away from the N900 and succes to Nemo style projects. So that both hardware N900 and N9 style platforms can co-exist and complement each other successfully.
