OK people of this community. I was sent tis info yesterday and thought you should all read this. If this is old news here sorry.
The location is Change.org
Just click the link and read the petition and sign it.
Hi!
I just signed the petition "Nokia Corporation & Microsoft Corporation: Release Symbian Source Code & Make It Open Source & Release latest update builds & Save the environment" on Change.org.
It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:
http://www.change.org/petitions/noki...share_petition
Thanks!
You can find the code for example HERE.
However, Symbian is not a good OS [In my opinion] , so NO i won't sign the petition. If you want to "save" something this way, save MeeGo
The future is in Linux (or UNIX if you wan't) and Symbian isn't either.
So sorry. It was nice, but it's over. Bye Symbian.

I mean OS as OS. I'm not Symbian developer, so I don't know how it realy looks "inside". I was Symbian user for long time, and what i know perfectly is the "stability" of it :P
However GUI is a part of OS - if you can't choose another one - so when you don't like the GUI, you dont like the whole OS.
For example multitasking in S60. Unusable.

EPOC is one of the best OS that's ever been developed for mobile phones.
What do you mean by unusable multitasking? S60 is the only real multitasking OS beside MeeGo/Maemo. Sounds like you don't know what you are talking about.

I'm a die hard fan of Symbian and Maemo. I signed it but petition's are useless. I don't think that Nokia will ever make Symbian Open source.

I have no experience with these old Symbians (or Symbian predecessors) so I can't judge it. I have only funny experience with 5800XM, C6-00 and a few other's. And i don't like it (today).
When it was my "Device NO.1" i loved it. (playing Bounce... yeah
) but in comparsion with Maemo (and also Android or MeeGo) ... sadly i must say:..Symbian is not a good OS..

My C6 is really really slow - and that makes the multitasking unusable. If you have some other device - and it is working quickly, than Ok, you are lucky man...
