Wow, going by that huge list of "what the N950 doesn't have compared with the N9", it kinda made me think, y'know, Nokia *could've* done a Nokia and released this in Q4 2010 and it would have sunk like a brick. Maybe it is better of being a dev device. The N9 is like the N900's super sexy, slutty neice. The N950 looks like it's adopted, overweight brother.

And just as impractical, IMO.

Personally, I'd rather have the overweight adopted brother.

So there is no way to get one of those N950?

How do other people (developers) get it? O_o

Commercial developers apply through developer.nokia.com. Community developers apply through the MeeGo Developer Device Program. qgil has a thread at forum.meego.com where he has described that process and is answering questions.

I think that simile is 10km west of off-topic and accelerating away, but as with niece/brother, it's very much a matter of taste and requirements. Sure, the brother can fix your computer or go fishing with you, but I can think of some things I'd rather have the niece for...

Cutting the dodgy simile right out: there is a worrying lack of understanding here (often from very intelligent people) that things like 'practical' and 'desirable' are all relative. Lots of people who would be miserable with an N900 may well end up buying and loving the N9.

they have chosen not to make it available, so a petition will do nothing
Stupid decision. What do they loose by making it buyable?

They would loose nothing, but ADD a lot off common sense to their hustle.

They would lose more money and time refining the hardware or in warranty repairs. They said 'no warranty' for a reason - probably the same reason they replaced it with a unibody device where nothing can be replaced (so not much can go wrong).

It's a sensible idea considering a qwerty keyboard doesn't sell a device (see sales of Android devices, as an example). It's just a disappointing one, considering I don't think I can bear using an eyes-free input device for my main phone.

Wait.

I have this awesome idea for a NFC app -- how do I use a n950 to develop that if it has no NFC capabilities... ?
