About time Nokia! However, it would be nice to see some Specs for the phone, how the UI works, and what this means for developers who want to write apps for this phone.
Also, with all these different phones running different OS's it makes it harder for us developer types to target all the platforms, unless we could write apps using Java and/or Flex which Apple disallows.
- greyman 18y ago> It uses the Symbian S60 operating system Hmm...I don't want to parrot a hype, but I would prefer Android, maybe just for the sake of coolness.
- shimi 18y agoI agree, S60 isn't easy to develop, while Android is as sweet as sweet can be for developers.
- schtog 18y agoWhy isn't it easy to develop for Symbian? I thought Symbian was the superior mobile-OS? Obviously that doesn't mean that it is easy to develop for it though so it could still be a great OS.
- shimi 18y agoDeveloping Symbian code is a challenge, Symbian developers are hard to find on great demand (if you want a pay rise you may consider dive into it :-) ) It was the best until a few years ago, but now the competition had caught up with it. RIM(Blackberry) were always good, the last Windows mobile is stable, iPhone is getting there, and mobile linux (where Android is on of its flavours) is looking to gain some market as well. I'm not saying the Symbian is going to die in the near future, but it lost a lot of ground, and they got a lot of catching up to do.
