Hi guys, just a note that qwazix will be our council contact for device distribution

The wiki isn't currently editable, but from my understanding the following people have either not received or not reported their device status to us:
  • Paolo Angelelli
  • fcrochik
  • netvandal (not received yet)
  • kesrut
  • marmistrz
  • marrat
  • saidinesh5
  • Wikiwide (not received yet)

Please give us an update (especially if it's good news )

Onto Jack..

I'm a bit worried about this whole "my new N950 is useless to me without the documentation that was there a few days ago".

I don't even remember the website, but there should be enough documentation and help around without what was specifically on this website. There's little you'll be doing that someone hasn't done before, and if you stick with Qt and the sdk the only worry might be adding the correct Aegis credentials for device functionality that requires those - but if you can't find a doc on that then simply google/ask!! Pretty much everything will simply build and install from the sdk, and if you used the Qt sdk for Maemo development there'll be no surprises. Same for python apps, or plain javascript/web apps, or whatever else you want to run. I promise you, the documentation and assistance out there now is a great deal more than what was available when the N950s were first distributed You proved you have all the skills you need, have the confidence to get stuck in.

I have a feeling that a lot of the info on that site was contained in a pdf somewhere, someone might have saved that and can provide it for you.

But onto another point.. please raise issues here, but this is not the best place to ask for development help A lot of the folks who have experience in developing Haramattan apps in our community are most likely not reading this thread, I suggest for a better response to bring your concerns into the Development forum here, the handset section of the MeeGo forum, on twitter to the #N950club, the Nokia forum.. yadda yadda.. It's going to be your best way to relieve your frustrations and get answers

What I'm saying is please don't feel discouraged so quickly! The N950 is a prototype device, running a niche Operating System, it may give you many headaches but it'll also give you a lot of joy if you stick with it.



If it's genuinely useless to you, the best I can do for you is check with one of the bounty winners if they'd like to swap their money prize with your N950 and I'll pay the cost of shipping personally. That's if you want to keep the prize within the contest community.
