i have been offered to replace my trusty and beloved N8 with a brand new cyan N9.

I need some help, N9 is capable of doing only a fraction of what N8 does, such USB on the go, HDMI, and the lack of apps (worse than symbian afaik).

But then again there are only a few devices that have the plethora of stuff the N8 has.

heeelp :D


PS. i like the looks of the N9
 
it is going to cost 30 euro...phone's main use making calls and emailing (about 1,5 hour of talking per day, 20 sms's and 5-6 emails).
BUT i do like to have the awesome 12MP camera when i want to take photos and i have been using the hdmi in presentations, watching movies etc. It is an all rounder the N8, has anything you need...Sat nav isnt for me something essential..

I have been using the N8 for 2 years now, so ias much as i like it i do need something new but i cant see any worthy replacements out there, be it android/ios or symbian.

Indeed, anything along these lines is a far better option than an N9. The N9 is lovely and has a fantastic design but it's just not a good phone for long term use.

The Lumia 800 is better and has the same design but you're going to have to take a hit on features.

thanks for the replies robbo, so youre suggesting that the upgrade path should be either android or iOS. Windows phone is out of the question by default :p

what i dislike about android is that phones built on it look cheap, have strange issues such as reception/call quality, problematic GPS and conerning apps i am not the type of user browsing market all day...5-6 which i need are already installed in N8 and they do the job well.
I cannot buy SGS2, out of my budget and too big for my taste.
Called my operator and told me i can get a Moto Atrix or a Desire S, android wise.
Atrix looks are aughhh:( ....desire S is a lot better but same specs with N9.

The SGS2 is generally a cheap device, it should be around the price of the N9 or perhaps even less?

not in this country unfortunately. What annoys me in winmo is that everything i transfer in to the phone has to go through zune and you cant tweak it whatsoever, i will get bored with it (but then again i could be bored with N9 too)
 
Robbo has quite a few points, future proof is an issue for me. N8 was futureproof and i would have kept it but it does gets slow AND push email for gmail doesnt work...you must set it to sync every 15 minutes (belle)...thats unacceptable for me.

Robbo should i just go for Atrix and nevermind the looks of it? its just another piece of plastic but the dual core and more importantly 1GB ram sounds like it could keep me happy for at least 1,5 years.

i am also fluent in flashing custom roms etc :D
