Does all previous series 60 software not work on 3rd edition? I have a load of stuff that I used on my 7610 that I would like to use on my N80, but not sure if any of it's going to work?
S60 3rd Edition software
Only Java stuff will work. Native application need a new compatiable version
Hi everyone who's on the upperhand about phones. First time joining the forum community... Nice to meet you all!
There are some questions i would like to address about the new release OS V 9.1. Had reviewed the excellent link provided by Rafe
Here's the link:

but more questions popped out in my head... It's about the backward compabilities of the S60 series phones.
Other than OS V.9.1, can the older OS version like OS V8.0a, OS V7.1 be backward compatiable to softwares and games designed for their predessors such as the N-GageQD OS V.6.1?
I'm not too sure about the compatibility issues when it comes to selecting softwares and games to be installed on my 6680 phone. As some of the official website (some, otherwise, not specific enough) failed to provide more detailed info about their products' compatibilities to different phones...
Thanks for any attention given. 😊
In theory Symbian OS 6, 7 and 8 are backwardly compatiable. However there were some changes between versions so some things may not work.
i.e. they are binary compatiable, but ins ome cases new or changed APIs may mean certain programs are not.
