This is a quick outline of a page, as I'm filling it in. The N950 is the second Maemo device which can be used as a phone. It is only available to developers, and not as a consumer product. It shares much hardware with the N9, with the notable differences that the display is TFT, not OLED, and there is a hardware keyboard.

N9/950 differences

Template:Fixme:Make into nice table of differences

  • 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
