Can someone help finding a picture? I saw it during the Nokia World days but can't find it.

There was a Nokia speaker in front and then a slide projected in the background with few boxes. One of them mentioned "commitment to open source", or something similar. It was a developer oriented session, but I can't recall which one and nor even the speaker.........

I believe it was linked from a t.m.o thread, perhaps hosted in twitpic. Sorry for the lame hints but there was a big amount of data and this is all what my poor brain has kept. Thanks in advance.

It's to expand the price range basically, it's meant for people who cannot afford a smartphone.

That will change as S60 gets cheaper, but at the moment S40 is still the cheapest hardware.
Also, isn't Android limited to only Java, and a non-standard Java too (although, perhaps, in minor ways)?
