I think there is a lot to develop.

Currently I am part of 4 major custom firmwares to Symbian devices and I get around 30.000 - 40.000 downloads of the files I produce during updates.

Mobile OS's based on Linux systems have open source projects and if you guys ever heard of xda-developers, then you should know.
there are a lot of tech geeks and nokia / symbian fans all over the world and in despite that they are misunderstood by the mainstream iOs and Android fanatics, we are all still tech fans and should vouch for eachother, other than the response given here

A lot of people program around on their phones nowadays and install tweaks and mods...
all we are asking for is to Release a little bit of code, before time wastes a perfectly good system

I am disappointed to read this kind of feedback from a site that calls itself "anandtech"

 

[freaxs_r_us]

this has nothing to do with recruiting...

the petition is at: http://www.change.org/de/Petitionen...ase-latest-update-builds-save-the-environment

...if you don't want to go over a different forum

Either the OP started a new account to "help" with his plea...or he went whining to his forum and begged for help...either way...

 

[freaxs_r_us]

if there is a Mod around...
please move this thread to the correct section

 

[pyonir]

So, apparently not The Symbian that I was expecting....

:hmm:

That's a "sybian". :sneaky::awe:

Right. Move this to the recycle bin

Just toss out your Symbian phone and get an Android, Firefox OS, Tizen, Sailfish, or Ubuntu phone.

And here is the thread where they brag about the forums they spammed. Oh look..both of these guys are calling us trolls.

I'm tempted to call on the power of the ATOT effect. See how they would like us spamming them ATOT style.

Now I understand why they want this: they can't afford a new phone.
It still doesn't change the fact that they're hopeless in this endeavor.

That's a "sybian". :sneaky::awe:

SybianOS

Remote connectivity? :hmm:

SybianOS

Remote connectivity? :hmm:

And the ultimate in haptic feedback

 

[bbhaag]

Honestly you guys are being kinda dickish. I know it's hard but try and step outside of the ATOT bubble for just one minute and try to see the other side.

I know this will be hard to do if you have over 30000 posts and/or have been a member for more than 4 years but try.

 

[Slew Foot]

Damn I was hoping for Sybians source code

What in tarnations is going on in this thread?

Millions of dollars went into the R&D of the OS, and while it is basically dead as far as being distributed with new phone models, it is probably a treasure trove of intellectual property. Even if it wasn't, giving away the OS opens the door for a new competitor in the mobile space.

1997 so I guess you're 16 years old.

that just made me feel really fucking old when I realized the math is sound

 

[PingviN]

Ban the bitch

I don't... understand... why... he can't... learn to... punctuate....

I actually haven't taken part in a good forum raid for years, I'd be up for showing what trolls are really like.

Well you are kinda trolling his thread.

I be they don't want to release the old code as there's a good chance there'd be more people running their old OS (symbian) than their new OS (WP).

Kinda what I was thinking as well.. while it may be dead as a phone OS the tech in it could still be used elsewhere. It's always tricky when it's not a simple app.

dat illiteracy.

I thought they released a bunch of source for symbian just before elop rode in to destroy things. Although I don't think it was quite complete enough to build a complete image or so. I thought it was ^3, not just V5 or whatever.
