I don't know if this was mentioned before: The port in the image below looks way bigger than a regular micro usb port.

It actually looks like a MHL port:

through the commercial (commercial doesn't mean you can buy one) device program at http://developer.nokia.com there are much more. I mean MUCH more.

Ok, now I'm confused.. In previous post you mentioned that the Meego Competition 2011 will not be giving out 950's for "winners". Which is it? lol

Yeah, that f/2.2 lens is very appealing. It'a actually the best hardware upgrade, IMO (except for the RAM). Should be able to take sweet pics in low light.

Chance would be a nice thing....

@ Chrome

I hope thats the case as it would make this phone a much more attractive option, although Slashgear did say that it was only micro USB, so here's to hoping. Does anyone know if it's confirmed that there is no usb on the go?

yes, we don't have N950 dev devices for the winners of the MeeGo Coding Competition.
The coding competition has nothing to do with the community device program.
If you've done someting for the maemo/MeeGo community in the past, or plan to do so, just apply for the device program.
I wish you all good luck!

I'n not that much into photography. Could you explain for us what that kind of lens and sensor means? I just know that it is taking damn good photos...

Not rapid enough. By far.

i think everyone should have a browse through here:
http://www.developer.nokia.com/swipe...g_started.html

I have to say i'm very impressed. They've really learned alot from previous mistakes and upped the game.

is anyone planning on developing for this? i've an idea for an integrated app which i wouldn't mind seeing, i'm not a developer and i've no time to learn.

It actually looks like a MHL port:

it is micro-usb.

MHL:

MHL is connection agnostic (i.e., not tied to a specific type of hardware connector). The first implementations dual-purpose the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular HDTV connection (HDMI). Other than the connectors being used, no USB nor HDMI technology is being used. It is exclusively MHL signalling through the connectors and over the cable. Other proprietary and custom connections are also allowed.

Zeh, the figure of 92,000 Dali's has been floated around before. If they are only giving 250 to the community, what is going on with the rest?

I understand they will be (have been) handed out to reviewers, devs, partners, carriers, commercial devs and so on, but the production figure still seems high to account for the difference.

At least I hope commercial developers are obliged to write software if they receive a free/leased Dali. Any info on that?
