I'm butting in a bit here but its on the same subject, I recently got a
new phone that features one the latest version of Symbian OS, I'm sure
it could probably handle Linux but I don't get that choice. 

Anyone know how different Symbian is to linux for phones. I looked at
the development tools for Symbian but tbh one of the main ones is a
Borland package that looks a complete mess.
