This was not something put in after Council was in place, but was actively discussed before the event.
Estel stated that he'd "discuss" a change in protocol in a TMO post dated the day after the program was announced: the change that allowed every councilor who wanted one to claim a prize for himself. No announcement was made, and few noticed - until now, after the damage has been done and the motivations have been made clear.

No disrespect to INABT, but he's been a member here for 4 months, and while Inception is huge, if I had to vote for a worthy home for a dev device, it would have been elsewhere.

On the topic of e-yes, yes this guy is a genius, but is there really a need for Android on the n950 (the argument put forward earlier)? I mean seriously WTF?

It's not just a test bed or developer device. It is a practical
daily phone, the same way as N9 or N900 are.

Inception is big enough to make aegis obsolete, of course it's huge.

E-yes, along with itsnotabigtruck deserve devices.

They are both doing grey area things and this was their only way to get a free device from Nokia.

It's not, I have used mine many times and it is lacking in solid stable cellular reception.

A warning to the new members on this thread, the usual trick on here is they group up on you and when you got enough of the people in dispute online they will start the charade in force, be strong and stick to your guns.

If youdont they will try to walk all over you, take note of the thanks on these people it will give you an idea who the "group" are.

Well, maybe over the years he's helped more people than itsnotabigtruck. itsnotabigtruck & e-yes are at a big disadvantage because their contributions probably annoy Nokia. The one hope for them getting a real reward officially from the community was this competition, so of course some of us expected them to get something from it. It's not the end of the world, though. I don't really want to make a fuss about the decisions made, it's not possible to satisfy everyone. If I get another n950 I will send it to one of those guys for sure though.

Me and you both.

Itsnotabigtruck deserves an N9 or N950.

A> Please stop spreading FUD.
B> Stop changing your story.

Perhaps if you actually read the e-mail, and the follow ups to it, you would see the truth. (No, really... I took the time to find it, so please, at least read it and it's replies...)

While you're reading it, notice the date. Your previous statement that:

Is WRONG. This "change" happened in April, weeks before Council elections, and over a month before submissions started. Estel was a candidate for Council at that point, one of 7 at the time. Aries was also part of the nomination group

It was re-discussed at least 3 more times, on TMO, in IRC, and at Council meetings to make it widely known, and to completely clarify that the decision, made in April, months before, had not changed. And in fact, Arie took part in this discussion. So to claim it was an unknown until now? Really? It was known by all candidates, whom all chimed in on this topic in early May.

Edit: I think I see your confusion now. You seem to think the "announcement" Estel is talking about is his announcement as Council about CA. It's not. It's the announcement by Quim of the award contests back in April. But then you'd have to involved in the community to know that I suppose...
