I like the idea of the N9 however...

DRM will be present on the phone - how locked down will it be?

Nokia's track record on software management, support and communication is well dodgy -

"It's like a masterbating monkey trying to recite the sonnets of William Shakespeare while flying a helicopter and trying to solve the Hodge conjecture all at the same time"

I want to like the N9 and MeeGo but I will wait and see.

At the moment the N9 is the closest thing to the successor of the N900.
