It is a perfect design. It is a perfect balance of HW, UI, materials and looks. The price will also be perfect I am told. Further, the OS is cool, it is Nokia, the Swipe paradigm is ingenious in its simplicity and powerful functionality. The materials makes it unbreakable (relatively speaking). It is the culmination of Nokias effort in making an OS and an UX that is advanced, open and intuitive. I am overly impressed, I seriously started to doubt Nokia, but they have really done it this time. I had hoped for U8500 and keyboard, but after seeing and reading about this device, I really don't care.
All in all, it is a true masterpiece in engineering (software and hardware) and in design, nothing less. Suddenly Android and iOS looks old and sedate.

Obsession with spects, when N9 beats them not just what is under the hood, but HOW it delivers. You want some cheap android build phone go for it

Also the same reason why I like stylus better than using my fingers.
But if the N9 can use the front camera for text input (e.g. with reliable lip reading, face gestures or whatever), perhaps I'll forget the lack of hardware keyboard.

Just feeling dirty with so many Apple products.
one thing that bugs me, as a cheapskate, is the ads in all the free android apps.
the logical answer is to buy android apps, which as an apple fan may be no problem for you. in which case all is good.
for myself, i am uncomfortable with building an investment in a particular platform given how limiting the walled garden is, so i would be irritated by the ads but too afraid of financial commitment to buy the damn things.
fortunately for me i like kde/qt apps, so meego is a godsend, how you will solve the 'conundrum' is another matter entirely.
p.s. the kal-el chipset may solve the tablet problems, and in a tablet sized device ther is room to provide a decent enough battery to dodge the power issues.

I want to see these apparent next gen haptics that have been mentioned REPEATEDLY over the past few months!
The only way I will buy an N9 is if the haptics really do make the VKB amazing!
Then again, we could always just use a bluetooh keyboard for the N9
Maybe get something like they make for the iPhone 4, an attachable bluetooth keyboard that slides out, it only adds a little bit of thickness and the N9 is very thin as it is so it wouldnt be much of a difference
Lets see where this product goes, its still early days for it. Its got another 5 months to be released so hopefully we get a nice suprise from nokia when they talk more about the N9

I would guess that there's a better chance of me waking up tomorrow as the Queen of England than of Nokia backporting harmattan to N900.

Just realized how confusing the application launcher homescreen actually is when it's filled with many icons.
does anyone know: will there be a possibility (either out of the box as with symbian, or as a third party application like with the n900) to organize these applications in folders?

As far as I know atleast some of the UI is opensource? I have already take a look at the SDK and qt-components seems to be LGPL. However I am not sure if all UI is open, we should ask qmgil about this, but I am sure there will be a "community edition" of the device same way as N900 CE.
