1,5 years ago, my N8 got stolen and I needed a replacement urgently. I use Nokia maps alot and since they are free on a Nokia, I decided that my replacement phone should be a Nokia again... Only problem was that the N8 was only available secondhand or refurbished, so the N9 sounded like a worthy upgrade and the price has dropped dramatically since its launch... Today I own 2 N9's (16G and 64G) and my phones still amaze me and my friends... for instance, I live in China and still have access with Facebook or Twitter (without the need of a VPN)... the notification center is soo smart and I have not seen this feature with any other phone... Even the hardware is not outdated yet (1GHZ speed, 1G ram, ...)... I like the Lumia 1020 based on the reviews, but no access to Facebook/Twitter anymore, so probably I will stick with my current phones...
