I had a Nokia N9 as my daily driver for years (2011-2015 if I recall right) and still have it.
That phone was absolutely top tier at the time. It lacked some apps but overall it was an amazing phone. Everyone always wanted to know what it was I was using.
I wish they had continued pushing it forward.
It really was a nice device. Great size, took excellent photos for the time, and that AMOLED screen with the always-on clock and black blacks. I'd probably have one today if it were LTE capable.
Qt/Sailfish worked well enough too but it definitely had its defects. My biggest complaint was they didn't ship complete source prepared for convenient reproduction of the firmware and out-of-box encouraged flashing of self-made builds. Then I would have been fixing the bugs I tripped over.
