The N900 was the only device in long time that I where I found most things were logically placed and that had a well thought user interface.

An Android is far more complicated to me.

N9 is equaly easy but the back arrow to return one step back in applications was (is?) a serious glitch in the UI device breaking the flow of swipe. Has this been fixed?

In the N900 one could intuitively toch a blured portion of the screen.


leoniedelt: congrats and good luck witht he new N9 , if you are talking UI experience, there is hardly better.

If your talking camera phone the 808 is different league than N9 and even N8. It even feels like you are holding a camera. Try it when you have a chance
Oh, android is simple enough, to me. Not used it on phones but have had three tablets with froyo, honeycomb and now jellybean on (am on the nexus now). Its nice to look at but lacks the something, that makes even Symbian feel like a real o/s, iykwim. Android just seems hollow. I don't know.

The only way to try an 808 is to buy one. Won't get one anywhere in the UK and I don't know anyone who pursues, erm, unique ux type phones. Most people are apple sheeple or android sheeple as its the only viable alternative. No n9s or 808s in phone shops to try :/ shame, that.
