Yes, it does include the N-Gage and the Symbian camera phones. http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,6566,010_40,00.html Series 60 phones are not just made by Nokia. Look at the bottom of that page. Series 60 is basically the main competitor to Microsoft's SmartPhone platform. (Series 60 is a layer on top of Symbian) > Nokia shipped 100 million units last year.

Python already runs on Symbian." But then it was corrected.[2] On the other hand, Symbian uses Perl for their Symbian app SDK build process, so I thought that they were just more comfortable with it.[3] Paul Prescod [1] http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/64/34943.html [2] http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/64/35040.html [3] http://www.newlc.com/article.php3?id_article=128
