What are the goals of this project? To have a Symbian OS running on the phone as it works on say, an N8? Because you have to know that this is impossible:
That is Symbian running on a beagle board, if all you want is to boot it up to eshell, then that may work. But I don't know of a single free open source UI you can use on top of Symbian to make this project worthwhile.
i would also want symbian dual boot. you know why. well ovi map for india good support.
the most impostant is that symbain is the only os to support native video chat(over network min) well i didnot ment skype or google talk.
i ment gsm phone to gsm phone without internet. it so so lam that country like usa is not know to such teck.
well for video call over net is important.
undersatnd the important fact.
to use video chat you never need to connect you phone to wifi or gprs. it just like calling voice call. plus this way i save batrry drain.
daaaaa i have to carry two phone now. one n900 second n8. well now i tell my friend to buy only symbain mobile with fornt cam to use this beautiful native video call.
PS i know skype and gtalk but i guess it good on labtop. but why dont i use native video calling feature when it is for free of cost in india.
