I'm not being funny, but where? I can't find that announcement on the web, or particularly on the Symbian Foundation, can you? And how is it worded anyway - do they actually mean to imply that any phones will be updated, or is it just a theoretical possibility?

Seriously, don't repeat this stuff unless you're absolutely sure and you can back it up with proof - because people really have a tendency to take stuff like this at face value when in reality it never quite turns out like people assumed it would. Just because a hundred people on a forum say it, doesn't make it so.

Unless they're explicitly stating it as a forthcoming feature of the Satio (which they absolutely aren't) there is virtually no chance of it ever being updated to a new OS. Symbian^2 phones are coming, but this current generation isn't them, as far as I know.

Theoritically, the Satio hardware is perfectly capable of running a next gen-OS. But would there be an official update? No one knows for sure.

I agree with Boinng; no one should hold their breath for an official ROM. If it happens, well and good. But don't count on it as a sure thing unless someone puts it in clear cut words.

I'd like to remind you that.
haven't updated P900 to support MS Duo cards eventough it was capable of supporting.

Don't expect much from about this. This is very unlikely. Especially considering 's new upcoming products.

I realise I'm coming over a bit strong in my post above and I really don't mean to be attacking the poster, or Symbian, or SE, or the Satio - it's just that I've been around forums like this for a long time and all this Symbian^2 stuff sounds very familiar, and is likely to lead to a lot of heartache for the early adopters of phones like the Satio, if they don't understand what's going on here.

Put simply - Satio is a S60v5 phone. There has been no promise of a Symbian^2 update in the future. It's not in the Symbian Foundation's power to issue such an update even if it was possible, this would have to come from SE. If you're at all interested in the Satio, you should buy it for the features and interface it has now, and not on the strength of any future update which it will, in all likelihood, never get.

DON'T go around hinting that it's going to run Symbian^2 unless you have a statement from SE to that effect, or you will end up dissapointing yourself and others! Something tells me that when SE inevitably do announce their first S^2 handset next year, there's going to be a lot of Satio owners getting needlessly upset about it..
