The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Now that we know what the N9 brings - lets start hoping for the N950!

N900 features missing on N9
- qwertz keybord
- customizable screen (contacts mostly - fast access)
- some widgets - Calander
- FM transmitter (listen to internet radio in car - no bluetooth on radio)
- Stylus (I know no multitouch but the stylus is simply the best)
N900 features that are not that importand missing on N9
- IR Port
- Lens Cover
- Kick Stand
N9 Features probably better then N900
- Battery life
- Camera MP and speed
- Design (weight)
- Maps and Navigation for Sure
- Browser maybe
- If Flash 10.x then Flash

What I am looking for in N950
N900
+ Dual Core processor
+ Flash 10.x support
+ Bigger screen 4" or more
+ Bigger resolution 1024 x 768 would be nice
+ Slimmer but slighly bigger

Note that the N950 is the developer device for the N9, thus not much different in ways that would require porting or special adaptations.

From https://www.developer.nokia.com/info...ase_Notes.html

Nokia N950 phone hardware specification
=======================================

Nokia N950 phone uses same hardware components as the Nokia N9 phone
with the following exceptions:

* N950 is physically larger and is made out of aluminum, whereas N9 has
a polycarbonate unibody.
* N950 has a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The N9 is a touchscreen
-only device.
* N950 has a 4” TFT LCD display whereas N9 has 3.9” AMOLED display.
Display resolution is same on both devices (854x480). Due to the use
of different display technologies, developers should avoid one pixel
with fonts and graphical objects with lines one pixel wide. Also avoid
the extensive use of bright colors, especially white, when developing
for OLED displays as this increases the power consumption (typical
for OLED displays).
* N950 has a different physical camera module than N9. Both camera
modules have very similar image quality (Carl Zeiss branding in N9)
and both modules support 8Mpix image mode.
* In the N950 the front facing camera is in top right corner and on N9
it is in the bottom right corner. The actual camera module is same.
* N950 supports Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR, whereas N9 supports
version 4.0
* N950 does not have support for NFC
* N9 has slightly more sensitive magnetometer and ALS
* N950 has 1320mAh battery, the N9 has 1450mAh battery

Wow that was quick haha

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about.
This is the REAL N900 successor.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

Both (N9 and N950) come with OMAP3.

I am getting me one each :P; it's time my useless N8 (great camera - crap phone) went to a better home.

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

My main question is... can I order one from Nokia without being in a secret club?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

is the keyboard's design like the n900 and moto milestones or is it like the n97 / sidekick 4g that has angle gimmicks?

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

The N950 are higher on my wish list than the N9 to speak the truth... but why are they always doing this! They should have gone with same harware as the N900 just upgraded them. The 1024 RAM is really nice from the 256 in the N900....

Re: The EPIC N950 anticipation thread
 

The first rule is you do not talk about N950....:D

IIRC Nokia did sell N900 developer version openly, quite expensive at time but at least it's pretty well packaged.
