Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Come on man! Wish people stop with the hinges story. The E7 said to have a hinge problem and they delayed release til they fixed it. So the same could have been done for the N950. As anybody with eyes can see there is a demand for a HW KB, Nokia as always is just slow to "supply". They could have fixed the problem and added to there profit but they didn't. So hey that's on them #shrugs

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

it supposed to runs meego? not maemo?
can i have a shell access with apt-get?

what about that microsoft thing? it would sux a n950 running
windows mobile

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

It runs Maemo 6/Harmattan, the same OS as the N9.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

It runs the exact same OS as the N9. See for yourself on Nokia developper website.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

So the Openmobility article is finally out:
http://www.openmobility.cz/reportaze...ia-n9-s-meego/
The text is all in Czech, but there are some nice pictures like:

• N950 vs N900 + mugen battery
• N9 and N950 side by side
• N9 About screen
• sd/sim slot details
• moving launcher icons
• various apps (battery status, help, weather)

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Okay, now I want. Nokia owns me.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Oh yes, Engadget, start a drool session and MAKE Nokia release it. /wishfullthinking

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Such a beautiful device!

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

This thread is not EPIC yet. Just so you know.

...and yeah I would love to put my hands on the n950.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

so beautiful :) But only black? what the heck? we saw some grey/silver ones quite a lot of times not just on the two set of very early leaked images

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

I'll be happy to pay £500 to get it...

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Nooooo! Why is it still chunky?

When will they day come when we have thin keyboard technology? :'(

Think I'll pass on this one..

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

it is a dev device. Devs primary concern is not usually aesthetics.

And of course nokia knows how, the e7 has the best keyboard out there and it is quite then

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Not so chunky, but if it isn't sold, you'll still have to pass on it..

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

There still is hope

QUOTE (German)

Das N950 wird dem finnischen Hersteller zufolge ohne Garantie und Support verkauft, wann und zu welchen Preis ist noch unbekannt.
UNQUOTE

This article tells that the N950 would be sold but without warrenty and support.

So maybe we can get one anyhow. Still thinking about a petiton on my domain N950

looks great

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

I'll be digging ebay for this once it's out.
Hopefully I'll find a developer who want to dump his N950.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Look at 1:53. What is that slot? It looks like a slot uSD
I know uSD is not in the specifications but ... what is it?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

MicroSim slot. It doesn't have a cover like the N9, as it seems.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

For those who has not seen it. WF7 on N9-alike device

Are you sure that's micro? These two* pictures lead me to* believe it's full size.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

haha, no idea. I just said micro instead because I was thinking that it would follow the N9 trend ;)

EDIT: those pictures are from the proto anyway, so I can't be sure - but isn't the cover slit shown too small for a full sized SIM?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

It's full size, confirmed by qgil in the other place.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

So the FCC will reveal today their N950 related stuff ? :)

use a different browser, it doesnt work in chrome for me, says the same thing but i used FF

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Just got my hands on an N950. The SIM card slot is full size (or mini, the full, credit card size cards are obviously not used). The bottom right hand side "slot" is the audio speaker AFAIK. So there's only mono, no stereo as on the N900.

I'm going to play around with it now, so just ask if you are curious about anything and I'll try to answer as good as I can. But I can't promise I have the answer to all details just because I have the device here :) And I'm not working for Nokia, so I have no knowledge of internal details.

What I can tell you from the first minutes of experience is that everything synced fine over bluetooth with the N8 (which again was synced with the N900), except the calendar.

N950 is longer than the N900, and a bit wider, but thinner. It's about as thick as the N900's body without the screen. Compared to the N8 it is almost the same size, but a bit longer. It's all extra screen real estate, so I'm happy about that :)

The screen is not convex as on the N9, but the swipe from the edge still works good.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

R.I.P n9.....

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

@dragly, where did you get yours from so early?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

From Nokia. Seems they are sending them out to developers pretty fast. I guess they want apps for N9 out in good time before it starts shipping.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Thanks for taking questions! In some videos of the N950 it does not seem to make a good transition from portrait to landscape. Is that still the case? (i.e. the orientation and postion of icons do not change.) Also, any comments about the browser?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

i take it you have a longstanding history then, i am just starting out. im using the test templates in qt creator now, im writing an app for reddit. we shall see how successful i am. hopefully it will be better than the one we currently have.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Somebody please tell me, If i have a N9, I can use it as a dev device just as effectively as a N950 right?

Oh and yes, for what its worth: NOKIA, I will like to *spend* money on a N950, so PLZ make it available for purchase. I dont care at all about it being in a beta state and it comes without a warranty. Thanks!

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

tried chrome, FF and IE9, all say the same thing.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Dragly, does the n950 have a hdmi port?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Hmm... Seems I've been unlucky. I got a few duplicates after the sync, so I decided to clear the device to start off fresh. That sadly bricked it, and flashing it ends with the following error after a successful "erase", but unsuccessful copying of images:
So I guess I'll have to wait before I can test more. :(

To the questions that I had time to test: There is no landscape mode in the home screens, but most applications seem to have it implemented. The transition is flawless and quick.

The N950 does not seem to have a HDMI-port, only the 3.5mm jack which I suppose also delivers TV-out, although I haven't tested.

Edit: If someone else should encounter the same error, it seems like this is because the firmware version available online is older than the one shipped with the device. A downgrade is for some reason not allowed.
