I'm not even going to bother getting into a tit-for-tat "mine is bigger than yours" discussion with you (though mine IS bigger! :lol: :wink: ). OK - kidding there.

All that I will comment on is that having been involved in development of Symbian software, it is beyind any shadow of a doubt a dead-end career. There are reasons why there is no Pocket Informant or other power PIM for the Symbian platform. And it is definitely not that their native PIM is good enough, because it is far from adequate. Agendus tried, and their attempt is truly sad. Agendus for Palm is super - for Symbian it is about as weak a PIM as I have seen. There just is not anything to hook there - Nokia will not make it available. Papyrus is about as robust as will ever be seen for the Symbian platform, and that is never going to show a profit - especially since it is so limited by Series differentiation.

And yes - Symbian does make phones... Nokia = Symbian. Nokia founded the platform and still holds a majority - and controlling - share.
