Thanks everyone.

I'm gonna go for it. I am debating over a Blackberry Z10, Lumia 800/920, and the N9. But based on everyone's input I'm gonna go for the N9. I'm a previous WebOS user and miss the swipe interface. I also had a Lumia 900 which I loved. The People Hub was its best feature (until WP8.1 killed it). The N9 will fill the gap nicely I think.
