cssu-thumb doesn't give you the smoothness and speed compared to the n9 sadly...I've both and although i got the n9 first and the n900 later on; its sad but true the internals for the n900 have become slightly long in the tooth...

A n9 nicely overclocked to 1150mhz is faster and more usable...

However as sifo said yup try cssu-thumb first since you already have the n900...

Btw for your questions:

When someone's calling it's slow to come up, maybe 5 sec till it responds. it just rings on the lock screen or a blank screen.
This doesn't happen on the n9


emails take a while to load. 5gb gmail inbox and a mfe account.
I've a 2GB gmail inbox and only the past 2weeks emails are synced at first and new emails are added on. However, if you use MfE for gmail, it gives you the option to sync all emails via MeMailSettings add-on...Do remember the userfs data partition is only 2GB so if you sync all your emails with attachements etc you are pretty much screwed...If you want you can sync only headers to keep it to a minimum...MfE seems to work fine; if you have a hotmail MfE you need to use MeMailSettings to make it work as M$ have changed their protocol and almost every phone has a problem with it including iOS and Droids...MeMail is the only workaround AFAIK globally for hotmail accounts...It force changes the protocol so that hotmail MfE works...


medias take a while to load. about 17gb of music and 4gb of videos/pics, i dont even use it as a music player anymore. id like to move on to spotify
You will definitely need a 64GB n9...Tracker with pr1.3 onwards does give issues but if you are competent enough it should not be an issue...I've around 15GB of music and they get detected immediately but for all to be detected when I first transfer them in it took around 5mins...I've 6GB of videos/pics and same thing...



lack of mms. fmms is ok but when i get mass texts from android and ios it sends it as individual mms.
The n9 has mms built-in...If you are typing an sms and attached something it auto-converts the sms to a mms...


slow browser speed. even tried using google's dns.
IMO, the stock browser is actually not that bad...For flash you'll need to use Firefox...See some youtube videos for the stock browser to make up your mind...Its miles ahead of symbian stock and IMO better than MicroB on the n900 due to its speed and wrapping of text...


biggest gripe is google calendar sync. it just doesn't work. and 3rd party software can be a clunky work around. ie manual syncing
Google calendar can be sync if you use MfE...But only 1 MfE account's calendar can be synced at a time...At the moment i'm using hotmail MfE for my calendar...Maybe someone else can give their opinion on this...
