Hey you missed my updated post, your quote's not showing it (i always fiddle with my posts, OCD).

Were you banned from here once or just decided to use another u/n?

There's only so much you can do with it, at least in a practical sense.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?

and the N8/808 got more apps and much better camera
Agreed there.

FM Transmitter, HDMI, USB2go...
Actually FMTX is still a possibility for N9, far from conclusive though.
No HDMI sadly, but I've found a possibly very handy add-on which I'll post about soon.
USB host-mode seems to have stalled, the devs still won't say anything about progress.

The N900 was no flagship, it was The Linux phone. Good specs for it's time, but no flagship at all.
Def. more open than the N9 in the UI layer (at least for now), not notably more anywhere else.
Open-Mode on N9 (ie. no AEGIS) is achievable by anyone with a little bit of know-how now.
There seems to be little-to-no issues associated w/using it last I checked.
But admittedly my memory is hazy, as I haven't reviewed it all for a while.
Hopefully it'll eventually become more accessible to those who are less technical.

I only got my gut feeling, and it tells me that something cool is brewing over at Samsung/Intel camp
I have a similar suspicion, fingers-crossed.
