i'm thinking of getting a magenta N9 too, for my significant other. i've compared it with various samsung galaxys and it has eventually come down to a standoff between the N9 and the S2.

the S2 costs about 50% more than the N9 (16GB) where i come from. the main differences for that amount of money are the slightly bigger screen and the dual core 1.2GHz vs the single core 1GHz. other less important differences include microSD (never had one and don't think i'll ever need one), USB OTG (keeping my fingers crossed on the N9), and Flash support (maybe this one is kinda important, is there Flash for Firefox?).

and for Android, i know i'll have Google Maps, whereas for N900, i have Mappero and eCoach (which gives a pretty accurate GPS fix, surprisingly). now the question is, are Maps and Drive on the N9 as good as those? or are they as bad as Maps on the N900?
