If all the driver source is there, whouldn't it be better if effort is made to port Maemo to say E7 than the other way around?

but its a very lite OS. i managed to run 34 apps at same time including heavy one like opera mobile, opera mini, maps etc on 369 mhz processor and with only 128 mb of ram. and also we will get better battery life for our beloved N900 as symbian is not resource hunger nor battery hunger.

And even thought it's not worth it

they ported Android for N900 then why not Symbian ? all source codes are leaked, everything leaked that Symbian^3 uses to run. its lighter that Android, better battery life, better performance. if someone port it then i will the first person to try it on my N900. even if its in experimental state.

Well, then we should aggregate all those well-known Indian software developers to fulfill this dream!

OTFII. (oh, the fail in it...)

Do it yourself, as it seems that no one with single working&sane brain cell is interested. Why the hell care about symbian, if You're running Linux-compatible distribution, with less and less non-FOSS components every day?

This, OTOH, seems quite reasonable. It could be fun, if achievable. Yet, as it was said, symbian is very device-oriented, and we have no clue which version leaked, if leaked at all.
