there will be N9 developer programs once the phone is produced in greater numbers. nfc implementation will have to wait or use simulation until then.

N950 is available now, that's why it's up for developer programs.

A general N950 release would cannibalise sales of the N9, increase warranty repairs & returns, reduce the scale of production for each device and not sell very well. That's not counting the extra R&D costs, marketing, etc.

It's a shame, but it just doesn't make sense.
Cmmon... Why even sell phones then? It's just too risky.... Keep the software patents, fire everyone, and no worries at all. Revenue guaranteed.

But seriously, even though there might be a hint of truth in what you said, I don't buy that as the main argument. It's not like Nokia produce a phone and then go to a meeting and say, "You know, maybe this will cannibalise the N9, scratch it off our release list."

Nokia have produced a lot of quality QWERTY phones, and if they wanted (or had any interest) to release a good qwerty N9 they could have done it.

At least they could have offered it for sale with a 10day warranty or something. They would have made a few bucks and a lot less disappointed fans.

Exactly this happens all the time, in companies all around the world. And Nokia are finally learning to do it too - release less phones, make them more focused, stop trying to cram everything into it. The N950 is one of those casualties.

I can't think of a better argument for why a phone is being produced and sold in small quantities just for developers - it would've made more sense to send out a stripped-back N9 (or hell, just a normal N9 on a lease). It's not like they're gonna be writing code right there on the thumb-board.

Colours on the Screen look inferior to the N9, n9 looks so much deeper and brighter and less reflection.

TFT LCD vs AMOLED

to be expected

I'm wondering if it could be the brightness settings in addition to AMOLED vs TFT, but I hope increasing the brightness on the TFT won't waste too much battery.
