3- About the battery life - how good is the battery in comparison to N900?
4- Does the battery lose capacity from time to time? (Since I can't switch the battery, I would have to send the phone in every time)
5- Can I simply use my normal SIM card and cut the edges off so it fits into the MicroSIM slot?
6- The only thing I would miss is a FM transmitter, but that's not too important.
1. AFAIK, Nokia-Germany hasn't launched the N9 [they did the Lumias instead] thus, the Austrian warranty might not be applicable. Their International Warranty, if any, is a fallacy.

2. Do not know.

3. We get easily a day's life on 'normal' usage [feeds, email updates, surfing, games, shoots incl]. While it usually lasts around 30 hrs. under moderate use. That's pretty excellent actually.

4. The N9 being a fairly new product, no one could definitely know that, as yet. But DIY on it is surely not advisable. However, as I never had any issues with the iPhones - I guess it shouldn't be here as well.

5. Yes, I did that. Simply cut-off the plastic around the golden contacts thru my fiskers... and it worked. BTW, u don't need a Sim-cutter for this simple task.

6. There's an internet radio apps at the Ovi store - if that helps.

In the end, we'd buy this amazing phone for just one simple reason - it is a combination of great looks & a fluid UI experience. The N9 is gorgeous... a beauty in the hands, which is also pretty simple to use. That made sense to very many users around the globe who longed to break away from the iOS & Droids. And their black, grey, steel looking devices !
