You are right, it's the Symbian^3 which has been open sourced. Even though, with that source available it is still possible to better understand the platform, also for the pre-Symbian^3 releases. But of course, there are differences. In regards to building and installing, I found these references. TBH, I'm not a Symbian user, and don't have too much interest in the core details here (but I do pay attention to the general things that's happening) - so my findings might not be accurate. <http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Foundation_Builds_Quick_Start> <http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Platform_Opening/FAQ#How_do_I_build_the_platform.3F__What_else_must_I_do.3F> <http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Platform_Opening/FAQ#Can_I_reprogram_my_existing_phone_with_Symbian.5E3.3F> <http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Platform_Opening/FAQ#Development_Q.26As> I hope this gave a little bit clearer answers. When it comes to the need for a tun/tap device: I believe that this will be easier to implement, also on the older Symbian versions. The Symbian^2 and earlier vs Symbian^3 are gradual upgrades. Some tweaking will most probably be needed. But the general framework around it is most probably quite close to Symbian^3. Now it's up to the guys deeply understands the tun/tap drivers and networking in kernel space to catch the ball and bring it further. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEUEARECAAYFAktyj9UACgkQDC186MBRfrrRAwCdEzZY6E7MLRAhKL0HbN28i93e ubUAlitj/c299V7yleW65o+Ro94haLw= =la09 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
