Does this mean I could install a newer version of the OS on my S40 phone making it hackable? PS. I dissagree ith what the article say's, on the lower end phones Symbian is still the leader.

So what, it's open source now, the OS still sucks. Nobody builds symbian apps for fun, the only people using the platform are paid to.

If they'd done this 4 or 5 years ago, they might have had a chance. But now there are viable alternatives which suck less.
