I am really looking forward to the device with keyboard. If this one will not be buyable by "normal" people somehow, I don't see a reason why to replace my N900 & N8... :-(

But in this situation developers will get their hands on an exclusive not-to-be-released Nokia device. Which has happened in the past before: Nokia 7700. And after years, people got their hands on it. )

What he said was that there were 400 N900 developer devices, which means that the numbers probably are in the same range. Either way they are not for sale. It doesn't mean the consumer device will be different in a noticeable way. The N900 developer devices were, iirc, identical to the final ones.

Anyway here's how I figure/hope it will be, based on rumors, zehjotkah's info and N900 experience:
Developer devices (and the sdk) will be out during meegoconf, then the lucky developers who gets one can make some apps and test and report bugs and whatnot, and after a month or so the final device will be out.

I understand, I was just comparing the two cases (of N900 and N9) potentially.

The idea of hardware being the same, and different level of OS maturity, sounds good. At least consumers' device won't be physically crippled. (Hopefully it won't have any restrictions either, like on dual booting and etc. comparing to the dev device release). However if consumers device will come without a hw keyboard or will have some weird restrictions - I doubt it'll interest me.
