Most of the Sony-Ericsson phones use ARM SoC's which have Java interpreters implemented in hardware (ARM calles it "Jazelle") which is why they run Java really well. That said, most Nokia phones run Java like the brontosaurus --- the startup time of the GMail applet on my E90 is simply scandalous. The N95 8GB has a 332MHz processor so might do better. Not holding my breath.
Also regarding the Indian Nokia "expert" my own experience seems to bear out that most people doing presentations are more of presenters than developers. So that guy's success or lack thereof does not have bearing on the ease of use (or non-ease of use) of the Nokia S60 SDK. I've had good experience with (free) Forum Nokia membership in my past job. I never felt the need to have a for-pay membership. -- Orlando Andico +63.2.976.8659 | +63.920.903.0335 _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
