Nokia N950

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

Feature N950 N9
Size Larger, Aluminium case. Smaller, Polycarbonate one-part case.
Input devices Slide-out keyboard Touchscreen only

Front Camera (identical) Top right Bottom Right

Due to the use of different display technologies, on the N9, 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).
