N9. The next most sturdy phone Nokia ever made after N8 (minus the early faulty batch).
I use N8. Solid alu body. Almost impossible to scratch/ dent on its alu body (same technique to coat expensive sport rims for sport cars).
Gorilla glass. Sturdy. Only plastic part is a bit 'weaker' My 3.5mm jack damaged abit at the plastic part, due to my own fault, but the port still function at the best.
And i believe N9 will do just the same. Although not sure what kind of material it use for volume rocker and on/off button. Hoping its alu.
N9. About the 'too limited' releases, I bet Nokia is trying to make N9 "one last memorable device by Nokia on MeeGo" kind of device.
It's limited. Even many Europe countries, India, Pakistan (most of best developers from here) also didn't get the release.
No traditional style homescreen (medium to large clock, widgets, shortcuts, etc). Straight to the core. Social media feeds, running apps, apps menu. Quick, fluid, practical. Master the swipe, almost no hassle for the user after that.
Simple, sleek, not too thin phone design. We will most probably see N9 later in the form of phones like Nokia Oro (C7 Gold plated) or Vertu. If the core functions of N9 do well enough, a really friggin' rich businessman will eventually choose Vertu N9 rather than gold-plated iphone or BlackBerry.
Android? Sorry. Teenster, youngsters, execs sure can.

I did not even see even one Android models that offers exclusivity that BlackBerry, iphone and Nokia/Vertu offer. Even the almighty SGS2 also seems so plastic even with those almighty hardware equipped.
I'm really hoping Qwerty functions can be improve in MeeGo Harmattan, especially in responsiveness, the button sizes, and a very good core app that I hope will challenge the fluidness and quickness of BBM.
Please, a REAL push emails. Symbian Anna and Belle proves Nokia is nothing closer to BlackBerry's push emails. I don't want something that promise 'push' but in reality it came 5 minutes late.
We will see for ourselves when the N9 launches. Abit letdown when I've been informed that N9 will use microSIM, just like iphone it seems. Hoping those who went to media preview can be well equipped with microSIM.
