Yes, but why? How will you benefit from the working prototype?

I highly doubt you'll be able to sell it, especially at the price of 2-3 n950's...
What are you getting out of this? Why is it worth wasting all this time and money for this project?
probably he is a collector
if he is, these n950 are in good hands and not forgotten in a drawer.

I am sure harmattan could run on less RAM with a bit of VM tweaking. If not, then it truely is a piss weak OS.

very similar to the one on a N900, with only 256MB RAM
the 512MB would be astounding for Fremantle, but experience seems to indicate that it is not for nothing that NOKIA put 1GB in the N9 (and N950 finally)
it took them nearly 2 years to do that again with the 920 on another flagship device...
well, it's your money

i have put a 2GB swap partition on my 64GB UHS µSD (speed is not astronomical, but definitely faster then N900's internal storage...)
even though the 2GB are only used marginally swapping takes place and performances decrease notably.
i doubt a N950 alpha will have a faster nand
either way... up to repartitioning my 2GB primary swap into two logical 1GB partitions

I prefer rare things.
