A200 is actually just a software and not a real OS but it would be good enough for C905 I think. It's just a cameraphone anyway, and a quite decent one at that.
neither is s60 for that matter. They are both user interfaces that sit on top of the OS. Symbian in the case of s60 and OSE in the case of A200
Although I agree with you most of the times,I have to make a slight correction here. It is a wide misconception (especially among journalists and 'general' internet users regarding S60 and symbian. If the term 'leaves' means to you something als then the usually green things in the trees,then you should have not made the above statement regarding s60. S60 is a symbian 'flavour' and not 'something' on top of symbian. Unlike other symbian 'implementation' companies,nokia took a bit of a different road. ('S' in front of the 60 means nothing als then symbian) Nokia did not just write a interface on top of the 'standard' symbian,but decided to make their own flavor. Yes they knew by doing that any compatibility with the original standard wil be lost but they (correctly) assumed, the different flavour will sell so much and in pm doing, will becoming a platform/standard in its own right ! Actually they went a step further and customized the os even more,so much so that the flavours are not even compatible among each other ! While there are different levels within the os itself,they can not function independently. They are one system ! This is good for speed and reliability,bad for interoperability and system upgrades. Did you know that s60 is not even compatible between its own versions? (althou applications can be ported with different degrees of difficulty)
fair enough I accept your distinction.
I rather over simplified the situation I admit but "symbian" is the OS, not s60. Yes s60 is deaply embedded into the OS, but the core functions of the OS are Symbian. For example I doubt s60 is directly responsible for movement of data in and out of the CPU registers.
I agree heartily your statements about interoperability, though I expect the version of OSE that underpins A100 would not run A200. But I don't know that for sure, just a speculation. I also don't think you could take A200 and "drop" it on top of another manufacturers implementation of OSE.

Huh . . . It looks like you are alone Plankgatan. After reading the above I did realise how futile is to reason with you. Sorry,I just had to point that out for future reference . Is interesting to see how people 'fall in love' with all sorts of 'things'. Mind you,as a teenager I was very much 'in love' with my bicycle . . . and it was no where near as expensive as your phone But as the saying goes 'Money can't buy love' Am I wrong to assume you are a teenager? Nothing wrong with that - I for one, will sponsor you with 10cells of your choice if you could make me 30 years younger

This phone looks pretty nice - I currently have a P1 but I don't really use the calendar and stuff... wonder how much I would miss the touch screen and qwerty though... :|
I use TomTom on my P1 - I tried the demo of the GPS software this includes and it's quite a bit more basic, but the maps are certainly up to date - it tried to send me over a bridge that aint built!

Spam is the name for Junk Emails and automated multiple Forum Posts. They are posted over and over again to try and attract you to follow a link to their site, or in some cases, install virus software on your computer.
They don't have the phone at that price. They want one of two things, either steal your money or spread malicious software. Always buy from genuine retailers.

As far as evidence goes this guy might be the scammer himself. Don't bother arguing - the C905 won't sell for as low as $300 when it first comes out. |

Does that mean C905 is already available in the UK? (I didn't think so...) |
