Very immature client feature set
I don't understand where this blackberry style need for a server to collect and forward your emails comes from. Until recently phones would have a fully featured exchange and imap client (like my E71) and would work perfectly with no limits on what you could sync with, how you could sync with it or how many messages you could have in your email.
We seem to be taking steps backwards, and this is the reason my E71 is my device of choice, and I have not upgraded to the E72 or newer.

Jimmy K, have you heard anything about the sales of Nuron? I.e. how would you have heard it if it has sold or not?
Purely anecdotal of course and I am not assuming it has sold by the bucket load, but I've seen several around my neck of the woods, and that's rare (besides PayG phones).
Secondly, you know quite well that the Nokia online store price is the highest one you will ever find anywhere. Amazon etc. are guaranteed to sell it cheaper from day 1.

No, I don't have hard sales figures, but I do know the regional manager of some Suffolk County (Long Island) Radio Shacks, which sell mobile phones on contract for T-Mo.
He's told me that, aside from if they keep the iphone in stock, the most questions they get from shoppers is, 'What kind of Droids do you have?' Regarding the Nuron, specifically, they give it away as 'the free bonus phone', when somebody opens a multi line family plan.
Another interesting tidbit: young girls prefer hardware qwertys, while teen boys go after the big screen android phones (if their parents get it for them).

Is it possible to change font, font size and colour of text when writing emails?

doesn't seem like we'll be getting any answers till the device launch and someone gets their grubby hands on it
what i'd like to know:
- can the mailboxes be renamed?
- specific tones for specific accounts? i know blackberry has an app for this, it would be a lot better if i can differentiate what email comes in through the alert tone. emoze has this feature built in, but limited to ROM sounds only. ugh.

Zoom and text wrapping functionailty
At 1 min 19 of that video, the zoom function, I noticed it doesn't also wrap the text.. so you'd have to drag left and right to read the email. Isn't that a bit of a nuisance?

No, this is the N9... based on (hopefully) MeeGo.

Yeah, the N9 just killed off any potential interest I had in the N8. Meego is clearly the future for Nokia, even though Symbian will still be around, so I'm going to hold out for that.

Going by the size of the dual LED flash as a relative guage, this thing looks uncomfortably large.

I prefer the C7 over this lump. I'd have an N9, but not as a carry-about.

Another reason I hate this service model
Lost mail! Now I can't tell if it's my mail service or Nokia Email that drops email, as I'm starting to hear from friends and family that they never received my email. Just gives us a real IMAP client, Nokia! Not this stupid BES bull!

Just as I look set to finally get the N8 it looks like the N9 is just around the corner. Now if this is real and does what the N8 does it will be my next phone. I doubt it'll have a 12 mp camera but if it does everything else the N8 does with a more attractive looking UI, I can see many people waiting for this to show up.
Could the N9 be the secret thing that Nokia will reveal at Nokia World?
