          Qtk, well it's not out yet, but it's at least official. Hopefully they don't make too much of a mess of the launch with pricing and availability.

            And yes, it is Meego :-)

            Next to this N9, there has also been a quiet introdoction of the N950 for developers, which will not appear in stores.

              I got the impression that the n9 and n950 are pretty much identical as far as hardware goes.

              What would be awesome is if they did a limited edition "Qt green" version...

                @andre

                Seems I was mistaken. It looks like the n950 is actually pretty close to the phone in the video from a few months ago.

                Specs:

                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 (854x480). 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

                from the "release notes":http://www.developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/3744886f-69c1-4544-8ad3-72b352b4a832/Nokia_N950_OneClickFlashers_Release_Notes.html

                    I don't know about those programs, but yes, there are kits available (already received an offer).

                      So was the offer a part of being Qt Ambassador

                        Basically, yes. Ambassadors have been offered one on loan if they could tell what they want to use it for.

                          Thats a good news for all those Qt Ambassadors wanting to work on MeeGo platform.

                            Too bad that only the N950 has a hardware keyboard, and i cannot get one of those.

                            In the "N9 specification":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N9-00/ there is a "Qt Games API" mentioned.
                            Does anybody know what is meant by this?

                                bq. Basically, yes. Ambassadors have been offered one on loan if they could tell what they want to use it for.

                                I hope our Qt ambassadors can inform us about their findings/tests using the Qt sdk on it. If feedback is positive i'm very interested in buying one

                                  N950 is not for sale and looks like Nokia is releasing limited number of phones for developers.

                                    Indeed: it seems they are only available on loan from Nokia, not for sale.

                                        Also Nokia N9 happens to be the first mobile device running WebKit 2. N80 was the first one running Webkit 1.
