btw. we won't get any Nokia "N950" for the MeeGo Coding Competition (check my signature) but all participants are encouraged to apply for such a device with their project.

You must have forgotten that half the procedures describing how to upgrade/fix problems with the N900 as well as a lot of other phones, come with the line
3) Remove the battery.
Personally I've had to remove the battery on my phone at least ten times the last week. I worry. Holding the power button for 8/10 seconds is fine when it works, but not so fine when it doesn't work.
Furthermore, the inability to replace a worn out battery or to switch batteries on a GPS-intensive hike is a REALLY bad step backwards, and nobody but marketing people would ever defend that way to go. Not even product designers.
This product is a step back in several ways. There's no way around that.
Though i agree not being able to change to full battery or replace battery gone wrong without paying or needing to go for the trouble.

apply for the community device program, if you've done anything noticeable for the community in the past or if you plan to do so...

No. This is the first time that Nokia have a product that would have been aligned with the average U.S. consumer had it been released two years ago.

That must be due to some bizarre business calculation.
I was told that the decision to not release the (now named N950) developer device was becasue of the sliding mechanism.
I don't know if this is true or not and to be clear: I doubt it. Nokia made a wonderful sliding mechanism in the Nokia E7 and the one at the dev device I had to play with felt nearly the same.
What remains then as reason?
Management (read: Elop) or anything else?
