Will Symbian phones ever work together?

I remember when the 7650 came out and I was thinking it will be great when all Nokia's have this operating system - no more learning new menus and everyone will be able to communicate without error message and wrong formats. I was also intrigued that hopefully people with different phones would be able to do the same and work the same but just with a different outershell.

I know obviosuly that some phones will still be more advanced than others but it now seems that too many differnet incompatible version of the symbian operating system are being created which to me looses that whole communication thing. The reason PC's took off in the office is because everyone else had one and compatibility meant less cost. More and more though I am finding software you once used is now not comptabile with newer phones.

With people becoming ever more reliant upon phones as a work tool and for fun, where does one stand when wanting to migrate up the ladder with software in tow...?

Yeah I guess but I am also talking about the icompatability with version 6 and 7 causing software migration problems and while enhancing phone features could be stopping mass adoption.

well newer versions of most of the software had to be created or still having to be creating to cope with differences

pasa,like i said before,you will have to blame to UI for that,i assume you are talking about the 6600 and the jump from Series 60 1.x to 2.x.With the jump from UIQ 2.0 to 2.1 that didn't happen.

Because UIQ 2.0 and 2.1 _BOTH_ run on the same OS version: 7.0.
