I have an N950 which has probably been power-up less than 2 hours in its lifetime. It's in perfect shape, and it seems like a shame not to use it at all. Is there a general concensus about what the best OS is for an N950? I've got Nemo running on it, but the version of Nemo I have doesn't have usable keyboard support (numbers can't be typed on the keyboard, for example). My impression is that Sailfish doesn't work very well on it either, though I haven't tried it myself. Are people still working on improving Nemo for N9/N950, or is that a dead end now? Is the best thing just to revert to Harmattan, and forget about the other OSs? Is that what the N9 users are doing? If not, what do most N9 users run these days? I don't care if the phone features work, but I need at least WiFi, a root shell, keyboard support, and it would be nice if the camera worked.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Send it to me . I have always wanted one as a successor for my N900s.

Ok, but seriously if it was my toy, I would run Harmattan on it.

Cheers.

@Ken-Young just use it or develop for it. For nemo you can visit #nemomobile channel on freenode irc, there is daily build with 3.5 kernel.

I don't feel like I can sell it, because it's not technically mine. Nokia sent it to me for free, and I believe it's still technically on loan from them. I think I should find out which OS N9/N950 users are most happy with, and then port my three crappy little apps (orrery, maeFat and maeSat) to that OS. But I'm not really plugged into the N9/N950 community, so I don't know which OS pathway to take.

Just wondering. SInce Microsoft aquired the Nokia Devices and Services business, is the N950 really on loan from Microsoft now?

I don't know. But I doubt ownership ever passed to me.
