Well, the camera pieces only work with 1.2Mpix resolution... and still need a ton of userland code to be useful. But yes, major pieces are there, with exception of ... useful audio for voice calls (and tons of little omissions and flakiness and bugs). Oh, another major piece is DSP coprocessor that is there. Unlike graphics, we don't even know how support for it should like. And actually, N950 has working Bluetooth, which gives some interesting possibilities, too.
