Agreed. I loved my Nokia N9. The software was great! The Nokia N9 alarm clock was the best alarm clock app I've ever used.
Android have copied some elements of this but it's nowhere near as simple!
The hardware was fantastic as well. I dropped mine several times without a case and it never broke.
The TI dac sounded great with my Sony XBA-3 iems I had at the time.
I did hate the USB port cover though. And hated that they didn't have a dedicated camera button like the N8 and n97.
The N9 was a regrettable purchase for me. I even feel that Nokia owes me, all these years later!
Paid a lot for the 64 gig N9. Soon after Nokia abandoned the OS, and I felt ripped off.
I remember the flash refused to stay off. I would disable flash for a photo, but next time I used camera the flash was back on. This was enough to move to a phone that remembered the flash setting.
Years later I tried to start my N9 but it was demanding a password that I didn't know. Some kind of recovery password I never knew I had set up. There was no way I could find to reset the phone even to factory settings. It's basically bricked with no way to restore, so I couldn't even sell it as a working phone.
