So what, it's open source now, the OS still sucks. Nobody builds symbian apps for fun, the only people using the platform are paid to.

If they'd done this 4 or 5 years ago, they might have had a chance. But now there are viable alternatives which suck less.

Does this mean I could install a newer version of the OS on my S40 phone making it hackable? PS. I dissagree ith what the article say's, on the lower end phones Symbian is still the leader.
