i think a people need to understand that having an n950 isn't the same as owning an n9. i would compare it to having a moto droid (first 1 original firmware) and having the galaxy S. same operating system but different. limits and bugs etc. maybe my analogy is a bit too skewed but it serves this purpose. the N950 sent to these developers isnt for bug testing but getting some programs and game's etc ready for launch. for developers who are interesting in porting and creating. the prototype N9's will be for testing as that's the retail device. so asking stupid questions battery time and the screen. even asking about some specific software stuff can be stupid because it's OLD firmware with old bugs and limitations. it needs to be usable for developing, not everyday use.
If you really that interested in knowing more go to the meego forums and if your not a complete *** you can get some answer's.

i don't know why people want the most detailed of answer's about something they'll probably use about 1% of the time and on a device that isn't the N9. i'm happy with the simple things that i'll use alot like "is the interface natural to use, can developers keep the UI consistent and use the same buttons sliders etc in their programs etc."

is the n950 was truly a better device it would be released. regardless of the companies direction, money is still money and you don't want your only other lifeline to sink and leave you with no bargaining power.
