Updated Questions and answer for those people awaiting N950 Dev Kits:
1) If you have registered for the launchpad, please wait.
If you want to find out more information you can email the launchpad team, but a quick response is unlikely.
Also, Quim will be emailing / sending all of the names and accounts across, therefore, if they have any questions / problems contacting devs they'll let Quim know.
2) Timeline - Timescale
There is no defined deadline or timescale for this. Keep an eye on the delivered and pending sections below, as people are posting dates / times.
If things start happening and you feel you are being left out - please then email the Nokia Developer launchpad teams. But until then, not much communication if any will be received. Hold tight and please wait.
If your status is similar to someone else's, and in the same batch, and they get a device, wait a few days then fire a message to the launchpad team or here. No point asking the same questions on the forum. Most of the devs mentioned below are also on twitter, so ask there or elsewhere on the forums if really needed.
3) Timescale Part 2 - Patience!
Arranging, confirming, emailing, packaging and sending 250 devices is not a day's job.
Realistically expect a few weeks once they have started being sent out.
Be clear in all contact emails you send, to speed up the process - include account names and any other IDs requested/required. It is hard for people to swap from real names, nicknames, etc on a list of 250+ people..
4) People who already are registered with Launchpad
If you have a launchpad account (Lucky you) there is an option which allows you to select available devices, however, nothing is certain as of now, therefore that may not be the route.
Once the team start going through the list, it sounds sensible that they will start emailing / contacting the people on the list with instructions, confirmations and/or queries. (see below! - thank you Jaffa for the update)
Update - It seems the next step once the launchpad section is confirmed may be an email from no.reply-developer@nokia.com, subject "A Nokia N950 is waiting for you".
5) Why have I heard nothing from Launchpad?
There is no launchpad confirmation email (But if you try to register again it says that there is already an application waiting) - therefore.... re-register if you have to. Just make sure you use the individual and not company registration. (There is however a developer registration email! - and logging in also proves that stage works!)
6) "I didn't realize this was happening, can I still apply for one?"
Answer- "Short term: register to http://developer.nokia.com and watch Nokia developer activities in your country. "
- This program is closed, but as Quim says, keep your eyes on the internet, as there are other programs and similar things available, and different countries where Nokia reps do things too
7) Why is Nokia Developer saying the device program has been closed, and we still do not have our devices? *rant rant*
There are other device programs being run separately to the MeeGo DevKit program. The programs are not joined, but the team that sends out the devices is the same. Therefore, any messages you read are not exclusive to this particular set of 250 devices. Other programs may or may not appear across other Nokia sites, they are all separate from this one.
If you have been accepted, don't panic - they have not gone out yet! (As far as we all know!)
Please do update this section if you feel other questions from the forum have been answered?
