Hi guys, does anyone has a clue on when the N950 will be release to the public? Or is it only available to developers, how can an ordinary consumer like me get my hands on one?

There are no plans at present for it to be made available for general retail.

Yep, as said above by the Nokia man, the official line goes, we're not gonna be getting it.  They are out there as Loan devices to Developers only, and chances are that if one is found out there for sale somewhere, hands will be smacked, I'm sure.

Got to love the ambiguous statements though - "no plans at present".  Never a firm "No".

We live in hope...

WHY NOT EVERYBODY WANTS ONE?

Hi guys, I'm sick & tired of waiting from a decent replacement for the N900 from Nokia, I currently have my heart set on the Motorola Milestone/Droid 3 which has Dual core of 1GHz x 2 & 4" screen.

I will miss my N900 as what it is...... Android is the way of the future.

hmmm... i know we need a decent offering after the N900 and i myself have just ordered the optimus 3D but i will never get rid of my N900 (and neither should you/anyone)... it is by far the best smartphone on the market and there's nothing that comes close. its just a shame that Nokia held it back - all it needed was a big release campaign and lots of support/apps and i'm sure it would have took off in a big way.

I agree the N900 is a great phone 7 maemo does have some good apps to offer but unfortunately I find it a little too slow compares to those Core Dual handsets, I biggest disappointment is it doesn't a native dictionary & handwriting recognition & larger screen.

mathew_maude, what makes n900 the best smartphone?
