I even prefer the design of the N950.

I really want the chance to test typing on the N9. Of course I love my N900 hwkb, but hey, maybe it's not so bad...?

but you lose SO MUCH screen real estate using a screen kb.

I type out ALOT of long emails on my N900, and I cannot imagine losing so much screen estate in landscape mode for the hwkb. You will have so little room for text when you type out long emails.

the tactile sensation also allows me to type fast with fewer mistakes - my attempts on a software kb have been far slower.

i need the kb for productivity - guess I will have to go droid.

Did anyone notice this

Device Type: Handset
Units available: 250
Device terms: Loan
Provider: Nokia
I dont think that the n950 is for sale it says you need to be a community developer to get one

http://nokia-n900.com/nokia-n9-released-devkit-n950/

Further, as N950, including its device software, is not a commercial
device, the quality and/feature set of N950 is of beta quality and comes
without any warranty or support whatsoever.
From the release notes

In the past I just needed to register with my home postal address (in Hong Kong) and Nokia (Finland) would send me full CD of Symbian SDK, Communicator emulator, with an offer to buy developer version of Communicator, periodically when there's update.

Anyone knows how to become a N950 developer now? Is first born sacrificing required?

Go to Forum.meego.com

Qgil there has details and a thread for questions

i think basically you have to submit your project or what not, and if they think you are cool enough you get 1

and its a loaner too - its not really yours - i.e. they are only loaning it to you

Honestly, it looks cheap...i am not impressed. When it slide the keyboard out, it lifted the screen at a ridiculous angle. The keys look like toys to me. Another thing is, it's got NO FM transmitter...which is VERY important to me!! I'll pass...i think my N900 is still better HONESTLY cuz it got features i want. Sure it's more powerful but c'mon, my N900 can overclocked to 1GHz lol. FM transmitter is the real deal....very important.

Someone in today's main thread guarantees us that the lack of an fm transmitter is not because of hardware but because the code to make it work hasn't been put together yet. I believed him.

hah - just like Nokia.

Based on the number of N900 sold they should have a rough idea what the demand for N950 is.... could have made a small batch to sell to some of the more desperate here...
sorry, wrong word. correct word is lended and one must return the unit after lend perioid is over.

e: if I remember correctly, there were rumours concerning the hinge mechanism. it wouldn't make sense to sell small amount of units that can break down from the hinge, responsibilities would probably be much bigger than what they get when selling the devices.
