Showed my n9 to my father recently, I told him he should consider to buy the wp7 version since meego is a dead end. He lost interest though when I told him it does not have swipe. Somehow he was totally into swipe after a few minutes.

I don't understand why it's a dead end. How many apps does you dad use/need?
Nokia is going to continue to support it for another few years, we've already had one update, another to be released soon, and confirmation of another in the pipe works
Like SamGan says, it all depends on your perspective. It's certainly not dead end for me

To me the N9 is not dead, but to the average user it was D.O.A.

I also can't believe that N9's spotify just can't show back - play/pause - forward -buttons in lock screen and in lumia the whole spotify is integrated to built in media stuff after installation.

... it is N9 for me and I am waiting PR 1.2 and then PR 1.3 impatiently Of course, I do not know a situation a year later, but we will see that ... I prefer not guess that ... but yes, I believe that the both ones are better year later ...

I just took my N900 to my parents for skype and the integration to OS made things so simple that my little sister no longer needs to guide them through when they want to message or call via skype, unlike how it worked with normal pc client.

Fact is it will probably receive its last big update next month (I hope otherwise of course) and has a very limited app catalogue. I would recommend the N9 to a smartphone veteran who knows what he is dealing with, but not to a newbie.
Apps are not limited any longer and more is coming all the time - I have all apps what I need (and many unnecessary ones too) ... what are you missing ? - I know only 2 missing ones, whatsapp and shazam (or similar one as shazam), but I am not missing either one ...
Well, my daughter is a newbie and she really like her N9 ... well, she does not even know what means OS - she will buy one that she likes most just on that moment (she does not care what is brand or OS) ...
