And no, I got that message not in this very moment (nearly one in the night), but I just returned to my room and had access to my Laptop again.
I haven't had it with me because we were down to play Werewolf so I thought I wouldn't need it there.

I guess I'm also lucky enough to be able to afford to upgrade every 6-12 months.
Part of the reason why I'll probably end up getting the harmattan device (and the HP3 if it supports 850/2100 UMTS), oh and the Fujitsu Loox (just to see if i can wipe WP7 and dual boot Meego and symbian!)

Hi everyone,

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 you 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.

Do I get a "I'm sorry for my discouraging words" from you on monday when/if my words were true?
