ste-phan,
If you get a n900, you would need to set-up extras devel&testing, install CSSU then install CSSU thumb...
The N9 is pretty simple; start using it straight away...
Are you speaking about the back arrow in a Message Conversation? It's present only in some instances anyway...I think maybe you used it in pr1.0 or pr1.1 as I do remember reading somewhere it was fixed in pr1.2...If you tell me which one i can check it now
The capacitative screen of the n9 adds to the better usability of the n9 compared to the resistive on of the n900...I speak this as owner of both phones so if you come from another capacitative screen phone like the OP, the n9 is much much easier to get used to than the n900...

if you had bought a N900 then there should have been a reason to be ""nervous"".
It takes some time to get used to it.
But, the N9 is a totally different world. You'll be at home in just 10 minutes after you power it on. Yes, it's that easy!

Strange HellasisGreece, how you and many others say the N900 asks time to get used to it, even complicated, too technical etc...
The N900 was the only device in long time that I where I found most things were logically placed and that had a well thought user interface.
An Android is far more complicated to me.
N9 is equaly easy but the back arrow to return one step back in applications was (is?) a serious glitch in the UI device breaking the flow of swipe. Has this been fixed?
In the N900 one could intuitively toch a blured portion of the screen.
leoniedelt: congrats and good luck witht he new N9 , if you are talking UI experience, there is hardly better.
If your talking camera phone the 808 is different league than N9 and even N8. It even feels like you are holding a camera. Try it when you have a chance
The only way to try an 808 is to buy one. Won't get one anywhere in the UK and I don't know anyone who pursues, erm, unique ux type phones. Most people are apple sheeple or android sheeple as its the only viable alternative. No n9s or 808s in phone shops to try :/ shame, that.

also since you already bought the n9 its abit late to say this but the hotspot feature dosent work with the nexus 7, its a fault with the android side.

Getting ahold of the 808 will only be possible if i buy it :/
The.one89's cfws are always the ones i have used on my N8, for the last year or so. His camera mods are superb and he is great at stripping the bloat out of the fw but leaving the functionality.
Argh, its a tough decision! :/

But, i do want a phone that is a bit more enjoyable than my N8.

I don't think there's any problem with using an N900 right out of the box, myself.

Also the apps that are in extras-devel wouldn't be available where as on the n9 you don't do either of these and you get a solid performing device with all the apps that can be installed available from the Store or Apps4Meego for that matter...
