N9 is a regular boring smart phone trying to compete with the iCrap and likes. Nah, go for an N900 for sure.

Deciding between n9 and n900 is just like deciding between windows XP & Vista. 
Cool this is my 999th post from a thread talking about the n9[00] generations

It's been fine-tuned in PR1.1, which rumours are suggesting will most likely be available within the next mth, tops

Orig. article that post's based on (this in-particular's an important read)
http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.co...few-other.html
and it isn't completely rootable (correct me if I'm wrong about that).
See this thread, important read from pg 8 onwards

the N900 is the must have workhorse.
the N9 is nice but totally optional.
Better get a second hand N900 now, while they are cheap and easily available.
A new N9 later when they get cheaper, more available, less mythical and more updated.
I doubt I will ever have more than one N9.

It's an apples to oranges comparison and I'd say it depends on the use-case which one 'makes more sense'. TBH, the only reason I turn my N900 on nowadays is to verify community package builds for mobility and such, and I'm most certainly a developer 
Also, some of the N900 features brought up here are easter eggs, never officially supported by Nokia so it's a bit weird to count those against the N9 (which hasn't even been properly started to be hacked around).

Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I find it a bit weird when people say "N900 for developers". Do you guys really develop on your phone?
The N9 just strikes me as the far more interesting device to create software for, which I assumed would be what developers are more interested in.
There are use cases where the N900 really shines, like the frequently mentioned remote administration over SSH, but they don't strike me as particularly developer centric.
So what I would be asking is, what do you want to use the device for as a user, rather than as a developer. But of course if you actually want to write software using your phone, the N9 is a really bad choice.

Are you talking about the ease with which it is to literally write software actually on the N900, compared to the N9?
