Hi,

I have been using my N900 for some time now. I have put off purchasing an N9 as it came with Aegis (read: malware) that did a good job of encumbering the user. I've read that progress has been made in this department so I am considering trying my hand.

I am a security consultant. I will likely be focusing on networking applications as well as security applications if the community has something in mind.

I would really like to get an N950 before starting. I really loathe software keyboards, even the better ones. I'm hoping someone has a new one they wouldn't mind me taking of their hands for a sum of money. I would also consider a gently used one.

Also, if anyone has any ideas for an application they would like to have on MeeGo, please mention it here. I was going to enter the competition that was a few months ago but whoever wrote "Genwall" did essentially what I had in mind. Well done to whoever that was!

Thanks,

Abe

€2000......

They are frakkin expensive and have major design flaws.

IMO, unless you got one for free from the Developer Program or CA or Competition, it it definitely not worth plunking a thousand or so into it.

"Project N955" would work well enough for your use case, I guess.

Why not buy a n9. That is what you developing for!? N950 is a bad n9. Sure it has a keyboard but the screen sucks. Buy a n9 instead.

I sent you a private message. Is that an offer?

Thanks,

Abe

Hey, where are you living ?

Give me an offer to cuong at my-meego.org and I will consider to transfer my N950 to you (it still in good condition)

I do have an extra N950 that I won in a hacking competition, so its without an loan agreement, new, unopened, unused, still in the box that it came in (as I have multiple N950s, so I kept that one in the box as a spare). And I'm willing to sell it if the price is right.

Feel free to make offers by private message.

1 day and 18 hours to go. Buy now at € 1.750, or send a price suggestion:

Do you actually used N950 or see it?!

True the N950 doesn't have amoled, the colour is less vivid than N9, but it doesn't have pentile and looks much less pixel-feel than N9. I've compared both.

And N950 is Not a bad N9, they are different.
If you don't have it, don't make judgement about it!

Never spend more than $250 on the N950, it's not worth it.

If you want to use it as a "better N900", there are many problems with the OS vs the builtin keyboard making it a pain to use. Reception is also _quite_ bad when compared to N9. Besides, first-batch N950s LCD tend to die early, and you won't be able to find replacements. No public schematics either.

If you want to use it as a test device for N9 development, then it's also useless. It is way too different from the N9 (screen & color reproduction, aegis, accelerometer, USB hardware...), so you will eventually need the N9.

I can only think of two use cases for it:
A) Museum exhibit / Collector's item / Collecting dust in a shelf
B) Testground for non-Harmattan OSes such as Mer, where you might not care if half of the LCD is broken or if it misses phone calls.
