no dual core either. getting trolled not that it matters its smooth as butter with 1gb of ram, I was just expecting more specs for the consumer device given the one with the hwkb isnt gonna really make it.

Handing out N950's to MeeGo devels (http://bit.ly/k8ze50):

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

Since we know that this device took a long time to develop, I am guessing the HW specs weren't updated. Doesn't help that the mobile processor industry is moving at really fast speeds.

Yeah. They stepped it up a bit this time. They needed to really in order to remain competitive.

Dual core phones are still fairly uncommon. I don't think the N9 having a single core is that big of a deal really.

Agreed !

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

Whats really interesting is the two memory options. 16gb & 64gb. That definitely speaks of targeting a wider audience. Your casual user who needs storage for pics, a few songs, etc. Then you have storage size for power users who needs much more room. Think about it, why wouldn't it have Hdmi with that much storage...makes no sense.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

While the N9 becomes publicly available, Nokia has produced a limited edition of N950 devices for the most devoted Qt and MeeGo developers with apps in the works. We are offering 250 devices to open source community developers through the MeeGo Community Device Program (we are submitting the info right now). Nokia Developer has more for champions, partners and other professional developers.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

I don't mind either that it doesn't have dual core, what i do matter thought is that N9 doesn't have HDMI out.

I wouldn't call announcing a phone that will be released sometime "later this year" which has specs lower that of currently available devices (e.g SG2), stepping it up.

Heck, I would call this just barely managing to keep up.

N950 is also promised for subscribers of the Nokia Launchpad program. It seems to be free so far (the application, at least).

Nokia song:

one step forward and two steps back, this kind of dance can never last.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

3.5mm AV connector is a total deal breaker for me at this point. Once all the i-dorks get their new phone later this year with that feature, using a N9 will be seen as pedestrian when they're ooh'ing and ahh'ing showing vids they shot at friends houses etc...

Amazing grace, agreed. E7 + Anna is looking really good now, even the screen is smaller (3.9") and no FM transmitter, no flash,,, . Going to sleep now.
