Not correct. The 19th was the date on which it first became available.

There's still an internal, more "bleeding-edge" build...
Which we'll see not long after widespread availability of the N9.
It'll probably be pushed to N950 & SDK then too....

'On par' is of course open to interpretation. I take it to mean 'equal to', 'level with' or 'same as'.

It makes sense for both devices to have the same firmware, otherwise how can you test reliably before submitting applications to the Nokia Store. I wouldn't be too happy with Nokia if I submitted an application that worked perfectly on my N950, only to find that it didn't work as expected on the N9.

The Beta2 firmware is pretty stable, so I wouldn't get too hung up on the 'beta' label. If mece is correct, the 'beta' label is simply a result of the removal of a few trivial components.
