Comments on: It’s the end of the Nokia Symbian world as we know it, and I feel fine http://blogs.nitobi.com/joe/2009/11/19/its-the-end-of-the-nokia-symbian-world-as-we-know-it-and-i-feel-fine/ A blog about what I do during the day Thu, 07 Jul 2011 01:00:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Hub http://blogs.nitobi.com/joe/2009/11/19/its-the-end-of-the-nokia-symbian-world-as-we-know-it-and-i-feel-fine/comment-page-1/#comment-10933 Hub Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:48:33 +0000 http://blogs.nitobi.com/joe/?p=132#comment-10933 It actually got denied by Nokia. I guess the rumor mill is still very active. As for the N900 and lack of support for 850-1900 UMTS, try connecting to "store DOT nokia DOT ca" and you'll see how much Nokia care about Canada. For the longest time their N800 was not even available in Canada (not that it is a useful device...) and Nokia official answer for developers is "find a friend in the US to order it for you... and that will actually advance you the money because the credit card address has to match the delivery address". Looks like a pattern. Also why would you want to develop for a platform that is already dead-end as the next release will change toolkit ? (rethorical question) :-) It actually got denied by Nokia.
