Seeing how you are selling the N8 already i'm not sure why i'am answering.
I would keep the N8. It's still the best camera phone out there and is getting the crucial Belle update in 2 weeks time, making the UI experience 10x better. Neither are you getting much out of N8 selling it as it was hugely popular, more value to keep it to yourself.
Actually thinking myself to buy N8 as the Belle update is nearing closer.

I think the use of the word 'crippled' is not helpful. Kangal probably meant that the N9 operating system is not as accessible as the N950's for 'hacking' - something you would only be interested in if you were a hardcore developer.

Belle is only two weeks away? Not bad. When Nokia said 'early 2012', I was thinking May 31st.
I've been pleasantly surprised by Belle. It really is a significant leap over <= Anna. I prefer the UX to that of Harmattan. It feels more 'grown up'. If they just added the swipe to minimise/close applications, it would be perfect.They could also do away with some of the more byzantine settings arrangements, which haven't really changed since S60 5th Edition.
The N8 is a really nice phone. There is just something about it that makes it feel 'right', especially for one-handed use. Much better than those ridiculous fondleslabs.

I have an Android phone and gave my wife the N9.
I don't need a new phone right now, but I'd be tempted to get an N9 for me too.
I'd say, the N9 is way ahead in terms of UI, but the Android market makes the choice easier if there are things you want and won't have on the N9...
Google sky map
Vncviewer
etcetc (don't care about all the fart apps, but there are really cool android apps)
On the whole, there's not all that much missing on the N9, and indeed after using it 3 days straight I was baffled at my Android phone, my fingers forgot how to use it (after having used it for a year...).
And I really like being able to cook up simple scripts on the N9 to do stuff.
