We are here because we love to do all kind of nerd thing with our N900, such as booting Ubuntu, Fedora, Meego, NeoPwn, Nitdroid,....

Why not Symbian?

Now, trying to return to the subject... has anyone tried to compile latest Symbian from sources?
Good question - can be Symbian^3 compiled from the repositories?

Now we know 3 things:
1. Symbian^4 will not exist as a separate version because all the GUI / UX changes will be part of an upgrade to Symbian^3
2. Symbian^3 will be native Qt and will not have other new UI - this means it will be a good platform for developers to test their Qt applications
3. Europe invests $33 Millions in Symbian, its smartphone OS of choice:

This means Symbian^3 will be a powerful version / BASE version - with many upgrades coming - but with no segmentation because Symbian^4 which broke the compatibility is off - which is GOOD.

Did anybody try to compile Symbian^3 on N900?

Thank you,
