and so on, and so forth...

the poster probably still use a phone like this...
frantically hits the dial button...
shouts impatiently "miss, Downing Street 10 please..." and keeps looking desperately at his phone, wondering why there is no connection...


what are you looking for?
a run of the mill mobile phone with basic run of the mill smartness, i.e. all that social garbage that seems to be synonymous of Internet nowadays?
then both the N9 and the 808 PV are good for you because both offer plenty of free apps for that line of business...

the next best thing to a geek device? obviously, the N9 is your choice. keep in mind that 16GB is very little if you use geek features intensively, so get yourself a 64GB model

808 PV as a camera phone?
well, if you already have a N900 (as your phone and shoot of the century camera (slide open camera cover and shoot away)) then yeah, a 808 PV makes sense
have to carry it around though

tomorrow is a mystery, of course, but...
if the device you are about to buy is going to be your primary (mobile) phone for the next few years, you maybe better off with the N9 as support for Symbian devices might become a tight spot once NOKIA goes bankrupt... before the end of 2013
with this Community (and maybe a little help of Jolla ) the N9 may come along quite nicely

if you want to go real geek you will need a BT keyboard (search for nokia N955...) as the terminals available are rendered useless by the lack of hw kbd
