Not real familiar with the P800 yet. Had a question.

Symbian has licensed technology from RIM. My guess is that after
some period of time, Blackberry email services will be available on
Symbian devices.

Question is this-

Is it likely that a current SE P800 w/ symbian 7.0 will be able
to download software to use those new Blackberry email services?

As an early Palm user, its unclear to me how much of Symbian 7 is
upgradeable software vs. an OS largely embedded in the hardware.

Will appreciate hearing your best guesses. Thanks.

As the ROM is flashable, a developer can put any OS on the phone if he had the skills, as seen for Pocket PCs, it should be entirely possible for the ROM to be flashed and Linux put on it....

but this is besides the point as as long as someone wrote the program to access the services blackberry uses, it should be OK, regardless of the platform. I presume that it just needs a internet connection?
