IMO N950 is all about landscape usage which N9's current UI isn't or very limited, therefore they have to concentrate on one way of usage, portrait. One feature I would miss if I had N950 is the idle clock screen which can't be used on N950 due to the TFT screen, visibility in sunlight is also important for me but I don't how is N950's screen compared to N9's in this situation.

He's talking about HDMI....
That has nothing to do with whether MHL is implemented or do-able via AV 3.5mm or mUSB.
Read up on MHL again... HDMI = irrelevant for HD output via MHL.

My point exactly.

If MHL is implemented at all, it's likely to be done via AV 3.5mm, as so far that's the only "official" means of TV-out.*
But if that were the case, surely we'd have some official specs now saying 3.5mm can do more than 480i out?

Which is why I'm hoping against hope that MHL is do-able "unofficially" via mUSB or 3.5mm much later on, thanks to efforts by the OSS community.
But 1st... We need official confirmation from Nokia that MHL is not implemented or planned, via 3.5mm or mUSB.

*& why'd they bother with two TV-outs, & even if they did, why not mention it?

But one thing I do use even on N8/E7 is USB OTG. So I really hope this can be enabled on the N9 at a later stage.
Yeah when it comes down to it, USB OTG is prolly more important overall for me too.
I have dedicated media front-end's that already do very nicely what an N9 could've done for me with HD out.

They explain that 12mp was too big a module to include and maintain the elegant design of the n9. So whoever is complaining about the camera and any other features such as hdmi, consider how that may have changed the overall shape of the unibody that is impressing everyone. Great job to Nokia!
Yeah I read that the other day...
I agree it is somewhat unappreciated what they've been able to do!

People keep confusing HD output, with the need for HDMI or even a HDMI port.

After a couple of months, a few online petitions 'Nokia bring the N9 to the consumers already, we don't need a keyboard' , the sexy device would be released right before iPhone 5.

Why not? ah it starts with an E.

I wonder if I would bother typing this nonsense if I had an N9 instead of N900.
The N950 had issues with the keyboard and I can't remember where it was said but it was rejected due to this. How can the n9 be a developer phone without a keyboard :P Also Elop doesn't listen to people even us Canadians haha so a petition would do nothing

I think the point people are trying to make is that, for hypothetical features that are based on zero information but maybe somehow possible later on, it should be discussed later on.

It has been asked on TMO and Meego handset, nobody can tell, please just wait till somebody can.

Generally Eldar did it again:

"92,000 handsets were produced (N950 for developers was released even in lower numbers)"

I thought 92k handsets is for N950. Is he doing that deliberately?
and still no comment from Nokia on avilability in UK, etc.

^ He's full of crap...
It's just some arbitrary no. he likes to repeat.
He originally was saying the same for 950.
Why now magically is that no. assoc. w/the N9?

Via the Qt mobility APIs, you would be able to add an event to the calendar from another application. Whether you would be able to do the picture and open the weather app is another question.

or a history/event logger being able to click on a day already gone by and if you took images or video's you can see how many and click to open the image viewer with those filtered.
It should be possible to do this with Qt mobility on Maemo 5 and Harmattan. I had hoped to start learning Qt Quick etc. by writing such an app, but have had no time for it ...

for USB OTG there might actually be some hope, atleast according to this:
