All that is based on information by Nokia.


(not the case with developer device)

hehe, and what I like most is that Eldar Murtazin doesn't have a tiny clue..

Cause the guy who FIRST said (way before any other!) that the qwerty N9 is just for devs, is now saying that he is quite sure the consumer N9 won’t have a dual core cpu.

I am from the distant future and have come to monitor everything to do with the N950. I can't tell too much because I have signed an NDA before travelling in time, but linux will be absolutely critical to world history in the next few decades (hint: robot wars) and this phone, as one of the most advanced device created before the great collapse, will prove to be the most useful weapon against those metal m*****f***ers.

However, a loophole in my NDA*is that it does not directly forbid me to discuss past events, even if they are not widely known, and anyway since the internet archives will soon be taken over by the Chinese, I doubt someone will find this forum.

Therefore, here is what happened/happens/will happen according to my briefing (many good people gave their lives for this intel, peace be with them): the N950 (please note that in the future we refer to the keyboard device as N950 and to the keyboardless as N9) was designed in 2010, with a planned release at the end of 2010, after MeeGo 1.1 comes out. The software was not deemed ready at the time, but while waiting for it to mature, a production run was started and the teaser video was made (the tweets in early May 2011 are about another video, for the other model, which we haven’t seen yet).

However, as you all know, a lot changed in Fall 2010 at Nokia headquarters. The new management was not thrilled with MeeGo because it was still a niche OS and cancelled the release of the N950 at the last minute, leaving them with an unknown amount of devices stockpiled.

A new project, which we call N9, was started then. This one will be ready some time in the Fall, features the best current hardware, but no keyboard. It is intended as a mass-market device to try and make some money off of the investment in MeeGo. Unfortunately, the lack of keyboard makes it almost useless in fighting the machine uprising.

In the meantime, to create some semblance of an ecosystem, Nokia will begin distributing the N950′s that they already have to developpers, at the MeeGo conference of May 2011 and to launchpad members. Judging from the number remaining in 2036, there won't be that many, but you won't have to sell your soul to get one either.

I am afraid I cannot tell you about anything else without risk of modifying the course of future events. However, I will say this: Apple is indeed evil, do not encourage them in any way. You have been warned.

The rumour there is 2 devices to be released is already very old so I would not say he was First to say it.
I've known it a while but only could be bothered to find this out for a fact after the Video leak b/c honestly I quit caring about harmattan but the video tugged on my heart strings.
