Doesn't surprise me because Nokia still has a big following in Europe. There's a really strong anti Microsoft feeling in Europe from what I hear which is understandable. Still, it may be a move to diversify the product line but all these smaller operating systems are going to find themselves in a really tight 3 way squeeze from the big players.

But look at this:

** Nokia in full buy-out of Symbian **
Finnish phone giant Nokia is paying £209m to acquire total control of
handset software firm Symbian.

There doesn't need to be.  Anyone who has been following the mobile geo
progress at all knew that it was based on the sender engine and runs only on 
Win Mobile and there were never plans to release a Nokia ready version at
launch.  Whether it gets ported later I have no idea but there's really no
need.
   As a side note to this, get ready for Nokia to get off the simbien band
wagon at some point.  Through my consulting work I've heard through the
pipeline that Nokia is going to start looking at win mobile much more
closely.  Win mobile devices, especially the ones from HTC are starting to
make head way against the crackberries which is something the other hand set providers really like and want to cash in on. Win Mobile is also holding up favorably against the IPhone in business circles as well. I really strongly 
think the over all market is going to settle out with three OS's.  Win
Mobile, Android and the IPhone.  RIM is not going to with stand companies
like Apple, Microsoft and most importantly Google. Let's hope the adaptive 
software companies realize this and move things like the KNFB reader on to
win mobile as well when the camera and image processing is there. I'd hate 
to see a huge segment of our community trapped in an under represented OS
again.  Go CF and Sender.;)  Oh and Nokia phones are ugly.  (just my
opinion)

I am disturbed that in all the verbiage there is not a statement that the
product does not work with the Mobile Speak series 60 product even though
this product is mentioned in the article.

Hi Claude,
I received that email announcement from Flying Blind as well and did not
see
the reference that mobile Geo would be on a Symbian based smartphone.  In
fact it will not be as the Sendero SDK will only run on Windows Mobile
based
smartphones.  So I am not sure where you got that information from but
mobile Geo will NOT run on the Symbian based N-82.

Hope this clears this up.
Charles.

and in collaboration with CodeFactory is useable on Symbian 60/3 phones
like the N-82.
hopefully this will be corrected., many people do not know or
understand  that a "Smart Phone" is not one of these phones.
