So, erm, yes. I think that's a standard NDA for pre-release devices, judging from the language, and not a special one for the N950 which belongs in perma-prototype limbo, but hey, the agreement still stands.
So, without of course implying that there are any "errors, deficiencies or faults" with the N950, I must say that it doesn't fit in with the new design language they came up with after making it. So, playing along with Ahonen's slightly fevered rantings, I'd say that they would have probably, if they had wanted to also launch the N950, just for consistency, needed to put the guts of the N950 into a N9-alike polycarbonate shell to make it match, sweetened those grumpy carriers up with an updated slider (see those old news articles), maybe even snagged the AMOLED screen from the N9, and then they could have definitely launched both at the same time (i.e. when Harmattan PR1.0 was complete) with much less effort than going with WP.

So maybe I repeat the post in case some important people there missed it.
Maybe somebody from us, the admin,mod would gather votes from people registered in this forum and will send them to the Nokia. How many of maemo lovers are there ? Let them hear us. Come on, can we make something useful from this conversation?

elemental,
apologies for distracting from your previous post;
in fact, i already felt then... hell, what's the point?
let me elaborate;
a few months ago i came across a web page that gave some details about the terms under which Flop got hired; it seems to include a substantial amount either party has to pay to the other if it chooses to end the contract before 18 months.
my guess is that shortly after Easter, Flop will get sacked without ceremony.
considering this and the little hope of the man even remotely grasping what the petition would be about, doesn't make much sense, does it?
why doesn't NOKIA terminate the contract right now? no matter what the fine would be, a company that size should be able to pay that, certainly considering the damage they take every day that passes... considering the mess NOKIA is in right now (Augeas stables?), it might be even more difficult for them to find a new manager then it was for Yahoo!
