Yesterday I actually took my Black/64G N9 from its comfortable resting place on the shelf and took it into use for some time.
My son needed a spare phone and I lent it to him for a day.

So, the device had a simcard in it for the first time in almost 15 months, since I switched to Jolla. For starters, how many devices allow you to take off & insert simcard while powered on? No idea, but N9 sure is in that crowd, I did not have to trash my uptime of almost 200 days...

Now how does it feel?
Just lovely, it is very comfortable to hold, jus the right size, beautiful screen and responsive to touch. The haptic feedback is nice, no other device kicks you back like N9 when typing a message
Took some time adjusting to the fact that screen swipes sideways as on Jolla it is vertical... The transition animations when swiping an application close are absolutely beautiful.

I was amazed to find out that Nokia Store us still alive and you can actually install applications from there, somehow I expected to see "cannot connect" orsomething like that!

Conclusion; If I had no Jolla I would still be happy with my trusty N9, for sure!

Comments from my son; It's way too small and does not run Clash of Clans...
