Hello Mani, You have left out Symbian 9.1 (S60 3rd edition phones) in the table. While they do not natively support Indic languages, there's a slightly roundabout way to read most Indic scripts and other complex scripts. In my Nokia N72, for instance, I've enabled "support for complex script rendering". Opera Mini renders Indic texts as images (jpg/bmp?). This way, I'm able to read Tamil text.
Also, contrary to popular thinking, it is the lower end phones that have better Indic language support. Nokia 5130 (S40 v5) is one such phone with good Tamil support. Ravishankar Ayyakkannu (User:Ravidreams) of Tamil Wikipedia has reviewed this at http://blog.ravidreams.net/2009/09/%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B4%E0%AF%8D-%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%87%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%BF/ (in Tamil). Copying him so that he can add more info. - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture ----- Original Message ---- > From: Mani Pande <mpa...@wikimedia.org> > To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org > Sent: Tue, November 16, 2010 4:21:12 AM > Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] support for Indic script > > > Hello everyone, > > I am trying to figure out which Indic languages are supported on different >mobile operating systems.
