REQUEST - Is it possible to get a hand on a Meego based N9/N950 for trial
 
Hi,

Is there a possibility that Nokia can provide a phone for trailing for a month or so. I don't want to burn my dollars again without knowing whats in it (even though spec sheet says clearly , so preachers refrain from responding !)

Having used Nokia for as all my mobile phone life I couldn't believe that the latest offering (at the time I bought n900 ) will miss their basic phone features (even thought it is a tablet not phone da da da )

They hand them out to review sites to keep or use for a month.

I do know that at any Nokia store, you can walk in and use the phones (not the dummy phones) before buying them.

Developer devices aren't given out for review. They're given to developers...to develop for.

Review devices are given out for 2 weeks at a time, to bloggers, "influencials" and reviewers. You might want to provide another reason other than "to save money" as to why you'd be relevant to giving one out?

As long as we're putting requests in, I too would like a free phone/loaner/review phone. I don't have any real qualifications or anything either. I'm not a writer and not an influencer.

Just putting that out there. Let me know what you think, Nokia!

So if I attend the Meego conference do you think I would have a chance or getting one? Im quite keen to develop my app on this platform, the N9 looks amazing.

If you can develope code I'm sure you could get a developer device temporarily.

This isn't really impossible. But basing on your side it is because this will require time and you have to make a name for yourself as a tech reviewer. Here's a few tips on how to get a review unit.

First you'll notice some big time tech reviewers are always getting a review models from manufacturers. This is because they are well known organizations and they already have viewers.

For Nokia. Motorola. etc... Having thier units avertised by different reviewers give them benefits. So in summary you can't just request a review model for your self desire.

So, to start to be a tech reviewer. You need to start in the buttom. Meaning start reviewing cellphone accessories. Companies that handles this kind of products are more likely to give you something to review.

The longer you review thier products. The more your audience will grow and your name will more likely be known. So. After you build your foundation. Try to contact the comapany that you desire to review.

Best regards :)

You can also be a part of a development team. For example.. I have a friend that is a developer he's just 20 years old, he asked for a device to the Nokia Company but they refused to give him a device. He asked the same question to Palm, and now he has, after 7 days of wait, a Palm Pre device to develope his apps. ;) it's possible u gotta have a good luck ;) and u gotta show them that u are good programmer ;) ciao
