IS it possible to install and use Symbian programs on a Pocket PC?
Thanks in advance guys!

No. A Pocket PC runs a Windows CE based operating system, and Symbian OS executables (programs) do not run on it.

A developer with the original source code could (and some do) write the program to work on both kinds of devices, but they'd have to release them as separate versions.

There are also no emulator or simulators to make this possible.

😮 is there a way to use Symbian programs in K750i? if not are there converters to convert files for use in K750i?

No, there is not a way to run Symbian programs on a K750i.

You might be able to run many of the same Java (J2ME/MIDP) programs, though.

There are no converters for program files (executables). As to other file formats (graphics, photos, audio, video), you may not need such in the first place, but it depends on what [kind of] files you had in mind, really.
