Sorry for the rant, it's bed time, and I've had too many random nonsensical issues with Windows lately! For example, using a Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter going through my Receiver to my TV.

How does that make any sense at all?
Anyhow, rant over, again I apologize for going off topic....

txh,
i have each n9, and lumia 800, and i can not wait for luma 900!
my n9s(black,white64gb) are both collecting dust in my closet. lumia 800 is a joy to use with fresh, vibrant OS in windows 7.5. nokia is bringing updates out quite frequently for any issues which may become.
n9, just got boring to use. lumia 800 feels fresh everyday.

Can I transfer files between my linux box/WP phone over USB?
I don't need live tiles and all that crap, I need basic functionality to get things done. So it's N9 for me.

N9 without a doubt! The Skype video calling looked very nice on Windows phone though, but we'll probably have Skype video calling on the N9 soon too one way or another.
