Nokia N950 phone hardware specification
=======================================
Nokia N950 phone uses same hardware components as the Nokia N9 phone
with the following exceptions:
* N950 is physically larger and is made out of aluminum, whereas N9 has
a polycarbonate unibody.
* N950 has a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The N9 is a touchscreen
-only device.
* N950 has a 4” TFT LCD display whereas N9 has 3.9” AMOLED display.
Display resolution is same on both devices (854×480). Due to the use
of different display technologies, developers should avoid one pixel
with fonts and graphical objects with lines one pixel wide. Also avoid
the extensive use of bright colors, especially white, when developing
for OLED displays as this increases the power consumption (typical
for OLED displays).
* N950 has a different physical camera module than N9. Both camera
modules have very similar image quality (Carl Zeiss branding in N9)
and both modules support 8Mpix image mode.
* In the N950 the front facing camera is in top right corner and on N9
it is in the bottom right corner. The actual camera module is same.
* N950 supports Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR, whereas N9 supports
version 4.0
* N950 does not have support for NFC
* N9 has slightly more sensitive magnetometer and ALS
* N950 has 1320mAh battery, the N9 has 1450mAh battery

Anonymous, 30 Jun 2011"it will also support Linux apps"..
Can u explain it,.. How does it can support,... more"Strictly speaking, the Nokia N9 does not run MeeGo 1.2 as its operating system. It instead runs what Nokia refers to as a "MeeGo instance". During the development of Harmattan (previously marketed as Maemo 6), Nokia and Intel merged their open source projects into one new common project called MeeGo. Not to postpone the development schedule, Nokia decided to keep the "core" of Harmattan, such as middleware components (GStreamer) and packaging manager (Harmattan uses deb not RPM). Nonetheless, Harmattan is designed to be fully API compatibility with MeeGo 1.2 via Qt. As far as end users and application developers are concerned, the distinction between Harmattan and MeeGo 1.2 is minimal"

I never thought I'd ever want to own another Nokia phone again, as I have no liking for M/soft, you can include Nokia WP7 phones when they come out in that, but now....well, what a phone. If only Nokia had brought the N9 sooner. I still want one bad:)

[deleted post]Hi,
What do you mean with:
"and being obsolete 6 months after the purchase"
Will the device stop working as it is now, beautifully intuitive and fast, when an update arrives? What does that "update" even mean? What if Nokia made the original software near perfect, and only releases bug fixes. Does that make the device obsolete in 6 months? I dont think so. Reasoning that way, we could say every Android phone ever produced will be obsolete as soon as the N9 lands.
