This comparison video may be done very bad, but substantiates that you absolutely have to go with the Lumia 800, if you’re actually lusting for the N9. Windows Phone 7 is way snappier than MaemoMeego Harmatton with everything you do. It looks just as lag-free as the iPhone 4s—something I’ve always thought I’d never see.
PS: Pay close attention at around 6:40 to see what the best use for the N9’s FFC seems to be. :)

It’s not what you say, but how you say it.
I really love this attention to the detail. You wouldn’t believe that it’s Nokia who designed this phone.
Mer was an attempt to further develop Maemo fully in the open and was cancelled, when MeeGo seemed to be the next big thing. Now that Android, Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo, et al proved to be too easy to burn (I love that phrase), or—in the case of Android—too closed, maybe a resurrected Mer can be the independent platform, everybody’s longing for? At least, it doesn’t look as halfhearted as CordiaHD.
