Its Nokia Series 40, its not Symbian Series 40. Symbian is Nokia Series 60, 80 and 90. S40 have nothing about Symbian.

Well either way the point is there's no Meego on the Asha 311 like nirasha_user is insisting. It's an S40 dumbphone, there is no Meego. Microsoft is not "disguising" any part of it.

I said it could be a highly stripped down version of MeeGo(plausible), their promotional material would disagree with you.

Regardless on whether the bootloader is locked or not, no port is possible for a device which has undocumented HW.
Ports to Android-based devices are easy because there is existing linux kernel with working HW adaptation. Same goes for N900 and N9.

For all Ashas and Lumias, as well as for example iOS and BB devices this is not possible, ever.

"Ever" is a strong word. For example, iOS hardware is undocumented, but it has been reverse-engineered to the point that there is an Android port for certain iPhone models. Theoretically that same work could be used to port Meego or SailfishOS.

But as for the Asha series, forget it. The hardware is not worth it.

I'd just like to do it as a way of learning things. Where do I start first? Point me.

we already answered you couple of times. S40 is not symbian and not meego, it contains none of symbian or meego parts, and it can't be replacced with any other operating system, and it can't launch any other applications.

How would some users know what it contains or doesn't contain? Few other users are telling that it is possible. So who is trolling who? Why?

How would you know it is not Symbian or MeeGo? How would it doesn't contain parts of it? Maybe because of your intellectual limitations you feel it cannot be replaced with other OSes.

The Palm treo 650 did also had an Android port.
