The Nokia N950 is a developers-only smartphone aimed toward Linux-based MeeGo OS and Nokia N9 developers. About 5,000 units were produced[4] and sent to developers throughout July 2011.[5] Nokia exclusively distributed the device to developers as it was not offered for sale to the public.[3]

The phone exists in several variations. The final device issued to developers is black with 1 GB of main memory and 16 GB eMMC internal storage, whilst some prototypes, known by the model number N9-00 (not to be confused with the N9-01) are silver with 512 MB main memory and 64 GB eMMC. Although they are marked "NOT FOR SALE", some were sold on eBay for more than €2,000.

The device received an unofficial Android port from the NITDroid community and also a port of NemoMobile and Firefox OS.
