Probably the biggest change is at the security level. Previously, once an application was installed on your phone, it had full access to all the API’s in the OS (an API is like an index of functions a program can call. Sending an SMS would involve making an SMS API call for example). Now, applications do not have automatic access to all the API’s. Those involving critical functions (or which could run up your mobile bill) will now be restricted.
If your application is Symbian Signed, then the application will have full access to the API’s. If it is not signed, then the application on its own will not be able to call these API’s. Instead, the user will receive a prompt along the lines of “This Application Would Like to send an SMS. Give it permission to do so… Yes / No
so dont worry about that its only the call/sms and external gateway API's that are locked to unsigned software but even then it will askyou

1st: the pix look too photshopped...
Now: pix are being asked to be removed...
maybe: it's true...
anyhow: we are still disappointed...
in the end: we will spill out our saving $$$ for something we wished all along to be better than what it is selling now
