what kind of nomenclature is that? What does symbian means? It´s like dct3, dct4, symbiam? Another point: all manufactures uses it, or just nokia does? thanks in advance. :-?

symbian is the os running in series 60 nokia phones. its like windows, running on ur pc.

phones running symbians not only nokia, other brands too. but diff type of os.

Sony ericsson for example, uses symbian uiq, touchscreen, which is diff from other os. the nokia communicators uses diff os too, series 80.

in the symbians of this section, we talk more about nokia symbians, series 60 phones like 6600, 3650, 3660, ngage, 7610, even sx 1, thou its rare.

just a rough explanation, hope u get a rough picture.

might be a play on the word "symbion"

"sym·bi·on (smb-n, -b-) or sym·bi·ote (-t) or sym·bi·ont (-nt)
n.

An organism associated with another in symbiosis. Also called mutualist."

(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=symbion)

the idea is that the phone is like your mutual pal, since the symbian OS is so versatile and acts as a game device, calendar, pda, entertainment center, computer, alarm clock, calculator, camera, internet terminal, blah blah blah blah...

and not to mention a phone. hehe.

you depend on it. it... uh... depends (???) on you.

thiana, for more info go to symbian's official site. just google up symbian and you'll find it under one of the first few entries. They have all the info about it and all the phones and manufacturers who support it.
