Death Stryke Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 So this thread can be officially closed right now Good bye symbian. U wont be missed. Nokia + WP7 has great potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 nokia are not letting go of symbian just yet. looks like they have great confidence in WP7 "Under the new strategy, MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project. MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences. Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year." Jo Harlow, new exec in charge of Smart Devices, will grab the MeeGo reins in addition to responsibility for Symbian Smartphones and and Strategic Business Operations. Likewise, Symbian isn't going away either: "With Nokia's planned move to Windows Phone as its primary smartphone platform, Symbian becomes a franchise platform, leveraging previous investments to harvest additional value. This strategy recognizes the opportunity to retain and transition the installed base of 200 million Symbian owners. Nokia expects to sell approximately 150 million more Symbian devices in the years to come" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Ah so they want to lease out (I'm assuming that since they used the word franchise) Symbian and make money. I guess that will help what with the huge number of mid and lower end smartphones still using the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nokia and Microsoft form mobile partnership Nokia and Microsoft have announced plans to form a partnership in the mobile space that the companies hope will help it compete more effectively against the iOS and Android platforms. Just days after Nokia CEO Stephen Elop - a former Microsoft exec - blasted the company's performance in a leaked internal memo, the two businesses have joined forces in a partnership that is likely to see Windows Phone, Bing and adCenter integrated into Nokia handsets in the future. The plans incorporate the following proposals: Nokia would adopt Windows Phone as its principal smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader. Nokia would help drive the future of Windows Phone. Nokia would contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies. Nokia and Microsoft would closely collaborate on joint marketing initiatives and a shared development roadmap to align on the future evolution of mobile products. Bing would power Nokia's search services across Nokia devices and services, giving customers access to Bing's next generation search capabilities. Microsoft adCenter would provide search advertising services on Nokia's line of devices and services. Nokia Maps would be a core part of Microsoft's mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft's Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience Nokia's extensive operator billing agreements would make it easier for consumers to purchase Nokia Windows Phone services in countries where credit-card use is low. Microsoft development tools would be used to create applications to run on Nokia Windows Phones, allowing developers to easily leverage the ecosystem's global reach. Nokia's content and application store would be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace for a more compelling consumer experience. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mittu Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 umm....I have Nokia 5800XM...there are two things which come to my mind every time i look at it: 1. Why the fcuk! i am still using a phone with OS dead like a dodo!! 2. Because there are no major apps in android which are not there for my phone...at least for right now, i agree that android is the thing for future, but i think i can still live with my phone for few more months.... But if someone will buy it for 7K. i will mark my attendance on Android thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try it on my gf's 5800, but any errors and I'll have my throat slit So can't risk it lol.

Have you given it a try? How easy is it to go back to official firmware if something goes wrong (or if you want to go back to it)? Any real issues with the CFW?

TheHitman Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 It's fairly easy to go back to OFW. You can't downgrade though...so if u install 52.x.x.x, u can't go back to 50.x.x.x CFW are almost always better than OFW in every which way. But if you're going to be installing this for somebody else then i wouldn't suggest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
