Interesting.

I actually use Ovi to host music online for free, because MySpace won't work properly.

Ovi is good!

Other than that, I have a couple of software projects which would be ideal for a Symbian smartphone, so this is great.

Have you written anything for Symbian? How difficult is it, compared to e.g. iPhone or Windows Mobile?

A little bit. I was given an SDK by a Symbian partner company, but it was a pain to use, it was integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio. So I never got anything other than a simple command-line app (file conversion from Symbian Word to RTF) written and compiled - and that source code had already been developed for ANSI C.
