Nokia N950 Developer Kit programme is closed at this time Thank you for your interest in publishing apps for the Nokia N9 smartphone. We have received a tremendous response to our offer for the Nokia N950 developer kit, and can no longer accept any new requests.
We are reviewing all of the requests for these developer kits now, and we will begin shipping them out to qualified developers (i.e., Launchpad members with published apps in Ovi Store) during the month of July. If you are selected to receive a developer kit, you will receive an e-mail alerting you when the Nokia N950 is being shipped.
I think it won't be a good idea to buy a N9 as it would be a dead platform. On the bright side I am very thankful to all the Dev's who didn't let our maemo die and kept making applications so we can compete with Iphone's and Andoid and I hope there is a community for N9 to take good care of our device.
dont mean to be disrespectful, but who the **** cares it its a "dead" platform!?!?!? as long as it sells a decent amount we will probably have some apps... whoop de doo. as if "dead" platform means the user dies a little bit inside. seriously, i dont get all nebulous "dead platform" worry.
