In addition, Android probably wouldn't run nearly as well on the N9 as the native OS does. You will lose the cool swipe UI and the nice way it handles multitasking. Basically most of the things that distinguish the N9 would go away except its looks.

So in the end all you will have is a nice-looking but somewhat under-powered Android phone. Seems like a lot of trouble for little reward.
