This may get easier if Symbian keeps its promise to become open source within two years, which is what they said recently as they became the Symbian Foundation.


This probably doesn't help at all, but there does seem to be a command line mode on Symbian phones. When you reflash some of them, it will go through various modes (safe mode, test mode etc) and one mode, on some models at least, is a command line. It actually looks like MS-DOS, and has C:/> with "Symbian Copyright 1998" at the top.

No idea how you access that though.
