Nokia has planned to make this a developers-only handset, which means that the N950 will be produced in limited numbers and will not be available commercially. The whole intention of this handset is to aid MeeGo developers in improving the new platform.

Since this is a developers-only device, too much emphasis won’t be paid on the looks of the handset. The QWERTY keyboard is said to help the developers build the software more efficiently and effectively.

Developers will be provided with the Nokia N9 immediately so that they can work on it and patch up flaws found in the operating system if any, before the device is launched.

  • [advt]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.
