Symbian?

Not the wisest choice IMHO, I'd have gone for WP7 over Symbian. Symbian is certainly less well known (I even had to Google it to find out what it was!) and is apparently being phased out and replaced by WP7.

And when do we get our Linux port? :P

Also, I'm still yet to hear on PSP, any news on whether this'll be supported by Studio, or if NGP will? To me these are the only platforms I can see as worthwhile, other than Windows, Mac and Linux.

It's very good news, Symbian is the second most used operating system in the smartphones. The support of this OS is very good news

Question for the team:

I am Nigerian, but currently in the US and dont get to see a lot of Symbian phones. But since I know it is quite powerful, I was wondering how fast you found the Symbian and what the lowest end phone was you tested the game on?
