AnonD-324, 02 Jan 2014You are wrong MR.anoniem. Cant you read or are you blind... moreAsha is S40 (Series 40) feature phone, Java-based apps and simple HTML and image-file based themes.
Symbian is Series 60, smartphone, totally different thing with sis, QT and Java apps and vector graphic themes.
Why do people keep thinking Asha is Symbian just because there's "S" in the platform name? Actually Nokia encouraged developers to stop making Symbian apps and themes and make stuff for WP and S40.

          Symbian has come to an end.

          No more new updates or new apps for symbian.

          Asha works on Symbian platform.

          Cheers!!

            There is no Nokia, only Microsoft.

              Anonymous, 02 Jan 2014Does this include the Ashas? If it does then that sucks. I ... moreNo thankfully it doesn't. Asha is a tweaked s40 platform.

                  MdN8, 02 Jan 2014Sad thing is that they promised support until 2016 and brok... moreThey did not say that they are ending the support!

                  Nokia is only stopping more apps to be added to the store, updating is still on. If you have whatsapp you will keep getting newer version updates... But if a new chatting app like wechat or Line comes up, they won't be added to the store... Nokia is king of Customer Care...

                            I will never jump ship, because if I fall in the sea, I would drown and I would sink just like the Titanic because I do not know swimming and I am sure Rose would not save me.

                                This was the main reason i jumped ship to android last year, now am just waiting, with an S3, for a high end Linux based mobile OS that has a hardware qwerty keyboard (similar type to N900/N950/Moto Droids).

                                  I have android, winmo, wp, ios, bb, bada, but I still use
                                  my good old symbian (e63).
                                  and symbian sourcecode won't be releashed because it's to complicated or something, Its really a shame :(
                                  why nokia? why? I loved you but now I am forced to hate you...

                                    WP would never be the same like Symbian did. Goodbye, Symbian.

                                    Btw, I am planning to buy Nokia 808 as she is one of Symbian finest masterpiece, and possibly as a commemoration to Symbian too
                                    There is no 'late' to buy a Nokia 808 lol
