Symbian’s open source promise realised

Congratulations guys. I didn’t think this’d happen so quickly or completely.

I’m really starting to lean back towards Symbian and away from Android. Of course some decent, modern-spec phones to run it on would be nice. Hopefully we’ll get some more manufacturers doing Symbian phones because Nokia’s focus seems to be on cheap handsets for emerging markets.

Maybe now the platform is all there we’ll start to see Symbian getting ported to existing phones (like how Linux gets ported to everything). A Nexus One or (for less money) Liquid A1 should make a great Symbian phone.

It might even be worthwhile to look into running it on my Treo 650. Now that would be an interesting hack. Not sure if I’ll have the time though…
