  • Reception and call quality I like the reception of all Nokia phones, especially this one. I always get a good signal. great!
  • Display The display is probably one of this phones highlights.Although, it also suffers from black/dark spots manifested in the SGS2 as well as the Motorola Droid. great!
  • Battery life Battery life is solid. I get 1.5hrs on the average doing calls, SMS, listening to music and on 3.5G/HSDPA+ network. great!
  • Camera No comments
  • Ease of use The swipe is one of the easiest thing to do on this phone. Why din't anyone thought of it before? The downside is that it leaves a lot of grease on the screen. great!
  • Design and form factor The most sexiest phone to date with its industrial & minimalist design. One peeve is the USB cover which may wear out or bend easily if you're not careful. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) Easily fits in my pocket. Just about the right size and weight. great!
  • Media support Supports all the media file formats I use. great!
  • Durability This phone is a tank! great!
  • Ecosystem (apps, accessories, etc.) There should be more apps for this phone specially utilities and camera enhancements. poor
Detailed review
My first N9 (Black 64GB) had those black/dark spots/streaks on the AMOLED screen that was very visible when the phone is in cam mode or watching videos in a dark room. Luckily I got a refund, bought another one, same color and model, (Black 64GB), from another shop. No AMOLED issue. A week after I got another one of the same model and color. Agan no AMOLED issues.

Enjoying 2 64GB N9's and I have no regrets getting them.
