Details if you're interested...

I've had a N900 since 2013, which I used during the winter in Kyiv, Ukraine, for its resistive screen that allowed me to answer calls without pulling off my gloves like I had to on my N8. Plus I loved the Skype integration for for saving money while calling France to keep in touch with my girlfriend (who's now my wife). But my SIM mostly lived in my N8 when the weather was warmer just because of its camera. I've never been a heavy app user, preferring the classic idea of smartphones as converged hardware devices, not just small touchscreen computers.

Late 2014 I picked up a white Nokia 808 for the camera and the fastest Symbian experience. Loved the camera, but May 2015 the usb charger port quit charging, at the beginning of a summer of massive transitions, moving between states, then a trans-Atlantic move, helping my wife in her pregnangy, and with my N8 battery no longer getting me through a full day, I pulled out my N900 and its spare battery. I used my N900 daily for most of the summer and early autumn, until my Jolla Phone arrived.

I've used my Jolla daily since October 2015, though my N900's often in my bag as I'm learning French, and I find the Verbiste conjugation app indispensable. I've enjoyed using an OS that's being actively developed (and runs the two Android apps I need to use), but I'm disappointed with the Jolla phone's camera, and I missed the thinner phone-sized width of the N900, N8, and 808, wanted a better camera, and will need a phone with North American 3G bands, so I sold three older Symbian and S40 phones on ebay and bought a white 64 gb N9 here in the talk forums.

So far I love the N9. There are a few issues I need to learn about, but its got incredible hardware and a beautiful OS. I'll post my questions elsewhere. I enjoyed my Jolla, but it felt more like a tiny tablet than a smartphone.

Thanks to all three of you who read my whole post. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
