Yup. There's one show photo that we simply couldn't decide on a caption for. So it's down to you. We have Ewan, Symbian CEO Nigel Clifford and Rafe chewing the cud in the press area. But what on earth's going on? You decide! Best one line caption in the comments wins some mystery star goodies.....

Read on in the full article.

Look I'm sorry... but time is up for Symbian. Its All About the Symbian Foundation now.

"Let me get this straight; you went up to Steve Jobs and just said 'Cut & paste' and he did that to you?"

Look, I'm very sorry Nigel & Ewan, I can't stand around here all day talking about Symbian, I have to get back to Hogwarts as I have a Quidditch match at 3pm

Ewan: "as you can see, Nigel, Rafe's got the latest proto iPhone-Wristo, do you think we'll see a competitor from the Symbian world?"

"How did it happen? Well, I thought I'd read and understood the document Nokia gave me called 'Exit Strategy from Symbian' and I'd even rehearsed the procedure a couple of times. But when it came to jump, I couldn't open the window"

Ewan: "Rafe, you see what I did to Nigel, if you don't pay attention the same will happen to you..."

OT: That's not the best caption competition picture from the show 😉

There are demonstrations of why 1-handed operation is useful, and there's going to extremes...

FTW!!!! :icon14:

Ewan: "Rafe, how many times did I tell you not to punch up Symbian execs for ditching Psion? Look what you did to poor Nigel! I'm taking the 5800 away from you... WHHHAT?!?! I can't be arsed if you fancy it, now wipe off that bollocksed face of yours, get off your chair and let Nigel rest. We have a bloody event to cover and we still need to find that nutter Steve!"

"I know the instructions on the juice carton said "juice - concentrate", but all 3 seem to be staring it down..."

Ewan: "Last time I had to break Nigel's arm for trying to kill the fly on Rafe's head with the paper ... now I'll have to shoot him if he tries it again!"

NC: "I got this arm from Google - I'm now part-Android - it's a bit beta right now but I should be able to stick two fingers up by this time next year...."

Ewan: So... the end user can quickly get rid of any future "bugs" in the new S60 version with that rolled up paper? Cool!!!

Rafe: Excellent... ok... I will time how quick it works!!

Nigel "So Rafe, which do you think is the new i-phone?......careful....I guessed wrong and got a broken arm and a summons"

Nigel:- " Rafe, UIQ was just like my arm, fragile and now its like this folded paper, ready to tear in pieces, you now have somewhat less work to do on your great site as UIQ is gone so and please Ewan, tell him we also have a nice juice for guests. And please for god's sake stop staring at the Samsung i7110!"
