I realize now how vague my question was. So, here goes.

I guess I meant that I would prefer an N9 if everything (specs) were equal, but they're not, thanks to the SGS2.

But will say, to be honest I'd go Android instead unless you're married to Qt.

By development, I meant that I'd like to see active development for the device. I don't normally develop, outside of small Bash scripts anyway. For example, I'm a huge ROM-addict on Android devices. Does this phone have that type of development for it?

In other words, I can live with way fewer apps, because I really do think I would like Harmattan. But, when it's up against the SGS2 and all its ROMs, etc., the choice becomes tougher. To simplify things, I guess what I'm asking is whether this phone will have similar mods and other development as with the N900. That's essentially what I'm looking for in a phone.

Thanks again,
