That all matters on what you're comparing "worse" to be - in what regards that is.

If it's in the app department, notably missing would be WhatsApp - there's like five discussions on that and it'll never be ported in full to the N9. Just like there's (as of today) no Skype on WP7. Both don't have video Skype, so they're equal there.

There's no Google Analytics apps on the N9. Sure, the website "works", but the graphs (they're Flash) do not work. I need the graphs or an app - like Analytix HD on Android or Phonealytics on WP7 to quickly get in and out of what I need... results at a glance.

If you mean sales... well they're both sitting below 2% share. One has had a grass roots type of release (N9) and the other has had a huge marketing campaign that's seen an actual decrease in sales.

You guys are arguing back and forth about the bottom of the barrel basically. Yay... we're not the least liked?

Whatever... as it stands, both platforms are lacking some cool things we'd all love to have. I'd love for the N9 not to drop calls right next to my house. It gets all robotic, AT&T has been out here, but all my past Android, iOS and WP7 phones have had zero problems in the same place. I've yet to find the reasons - other than bugs - that the Bluetooth on the N9 is sub-par. Drivers? Devices? Regardless... it's worse than WP7 and Android.

Today, my phone dropped to no coverage, I wasn't moving and at the same time battery dropped to 4%. I dropped 2 calls, couldn't connect my Bluetooth earpiece - had to reboot. I've had to wait almost a minute a couple of times when the GPS wouldn't lock. I've not seen issues like this on a phone since iOS 2.1 - it's up to 5.x now, in case you hadn't been keeping up with the competition.

And honestly, the future PR1.2 fixes some things, but not all. Bluetooth, battery and reception are major issues to me. Does this mean that WP7 is better? Not really. It's also not selling well.

The N9 isn't a flagship product. It's a grass roots, open source project - that's not all that open source. And it's a success story of a dedicated group of individuals that pulled it off despite whatever Steven Elop said. Congrats.

Now... please fix all of the issues. Bring out Skype video calls. Improve the battery life on my heavy usage days - it drops way too fast some days. And bring out some apps that people would like to see on this platform - Whatsapp and the multitude of times it's been brought up already would mean people want it. There are others too.

And yes people, N9 has flaws. I can admit that while still enjoying the platform and admiring what it means as an accomplishment.
