A hwkb phone with no home screen support for landscape? That's just weird. It's like forcing someone to watch their widescreen tv on its side.... it's not the natural orientation.

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.
Downgrades were not really allowed on the N900 either. They had a habit of disabling something, like the PR1.2 update on the N900 that disabled the cellular firmware if you tried to downgrade to PR1.1.

That is kind of funny though, the N900 home screen canīt be rotated from landscape. Itīs next generation cousins the N9 and the N950 canīt rotate from portrait.

In a way it makes sense that downgrades are disabled if they change other firmware parts than previous ones did. I.e. that the changes are not reverted. It's just a shame that the newest firmware is not available online when it is already on the device.

I'll be patient, though. I guess the newest version will be available in a few days. I'll just play with the hinge mechanism in the meantime.

To help prepare for the publishing of apps for the Nokia N9 smartphone, a limited number of developer kits have been produced using the Nokia N950 phone. This phone has a pre-release version of software for the Nokia N9 and some minor hardware differences, for example the Nokia N950 doesn’t provide NFC features. The Nokia N950 Developer Kit is available to qualifying Nokia Developer Launchpad members who have published apps to Ovi Store, or have started to develop their apps using Qt. If you wish to obtain one of these kits, please send your request to: nokia.developer.launchpad@nokia.com. The deadline for submitting requests is 31 July 2011.

So how can we get our hands on one if it isn't? Do we have to wait for someone to post it on ebay?

I really want to hold out for an N950 but I don't mean to be holding my breath on it.

Don't.

Ain't gonna happen...

... Unless you qualify as a Nokia Developer (Nokia decides whether your prior applications/contributions suffice and/or your apps are worthy to developed on the N950). In short, if you are wondering if you should wait for one popping up on ebay, you're not "it". Buy the N9 (if you are so inclined) and after 2 years you might have something to upgrade to, maybe even w/ hwkb - knowing Nokia, you probably won't.

One way to get yourself n950 is to be super-lucky like me :)

Hello,

Thanks again for giving your feedback on the Qt SDK!

I have the great pleasure to say that you are one of the lucky winners who
will receive a Nokia N950 device. Congratulations!
I got that mail a couple of days ago, hopefully I get the device soon.

from whom, do you have a project page?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 
The mail was sent by a senior product manager in Nokia and no, I don't have any specific projects planned at the moment (though I have a ton of ideas I'd love to implement one day). I simply took part in a QT developer survey a few months ago and apprently they will send some phones out to some lucky people that took part in that survey.

Hi As I can see a lot of people would like to have the N950 avalaible to the public for sale. We could tel Nokia by signing a petition. Is someone willing to help me write what we should put on the petition

I'd think you can forget about the N950 as it's not likely to get on the market. Why don't you start a new thread called "The epic N960 anticipation thread" and continue from there? If the N9 is a massive success i'd think that Nokia might make more Meego devices with and without hwkb. The N950 seems to be a lost cause though.

As much as I want this phone and leave android to come back to a true linux base OS I doubt I get one. So now I got my eyes set on another phone, android of course the HTC doubleshot aka Tmobile Mytouch 4G Slide which has some nice specs and boast to have a better cam than the N9. So when Tmobile drops that I'll wait to see it in store before I make the jump. This HTC G2 is okay just want a better spec phone.
