probably the best "average-user`s, wanting to have his phone super fast, flooded with apps and likely looking cool" option will be iPhone 5 available probably in fall this year...though super expensive in my opinion, I`m guessing something up to 900 USD...

go for nokia 701 if u want more apps dolby surround sound, 1.3gigs processor(update is on its way link http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia...get-it_id27560), awesome video player(it plays even my 720p MKV),good display(1000nits with Nokia CBD)
go for N9 if u wish to c a new interface(VERY ADDICTIVE),good support(from this community)
cost wise 701 has upperhand.if your budget is low go for 701.

Really? I Tried using my n900 for a couple of days because of a broken n9. I Personally wanted to throw it againsta brickwall. Theres No way I could go back...
N900: Press CTRL + B
N9: Swipe to minimise browser. Swipe upto another two times to get to the application list. Scroll to your bookmarks folder. Tap to open bookmarks folder.
I know which I prefer.

n900 and n9 dsp are almost the same(just higher clock on n9), n9 barely plays 720p and you wont get more than that because it is a physical limitation of the chip, not a software one
you can only hope that a software update will enable you to finally play all 720p videos perfectly, althou i wouldnt hold my breath
and 701 plays everything right now, you dont have to hope for a better future that might not be there

I can't believe there's any debate about this on maemo.org of all places - N9 is the only choice! 
Granted, the 701 is a nice phone, but the N9 surpasses it by far when it comes to hackability, flexibility, aesthetics, etc. There's absolutely no reason to be stuck in the past with Symbian on a brand new phone.

The N9 is the device that is stuck in the past, with multimedia capabilities that belong in 2008, and a UX that is almost as limited as that on the iPhone, which was first released in 2007. I can add, and customise, a homescreen on my N8. How do you do that on an N9?

I went for 701. It was an extremely difficult decision though - if not for the replaceable battery on 701 I'd chosen the N9.
While they're not available in abundance, there are a few sources of N9 batteries, I even corresponded with one company that was in Germany where they spoke in english via email for me(website wasn't english).
So yeah if that was the dealbreaker you chose wrong, although I had to do a fair bit of digging to find info on getting the N9 open and battery sources but that was back in nov/dec.
