It's quite funny how n9 can't compete with n900 from few aspects main one is qwerty and software, It's funny how n900 is so outdated that there's only few working. It's quite funny that I use my n950 on daily basis :-O and it replaces everything except: Pidgin Max3Ds Photoshop EasyCode MASM32 IDA Pro Inkscape ... :-O yes, I use sms and Irc-Chatter and GTalk (I have that on symbian / android... too)
