@cinimodev I never actually saw/read your reply, sorry 😬

Browsing is (maybe) the one thing I would expect #KaiOS to do well, since it is based on the now-defunct #FirefoxOS 🤓

Regarding the (lack of) apps, did you check store.bananahackers.net/, an alternative app store? 🤔

Couldn't you have bought a new SIM card subscribed to a very cheap plan? No Bluetooth? ☹️

BTW: Guess who now has a (somewhat) functional, working Nokia E72 in 2025 😎 #symbian

#Introduction post again - had to reinstall my mastodon instance.
Hi! My name is Max.
I enjoy #coding and I do it for hobby and work for over 15 years. I have development #gamedevelopment #computervision #robotics #mobileapps for #nokia #symbian #android #ios #tizen #maemo. More recently, I make a living working with #React on #Frontend
On a lighter note, I enjoy various types of #rock music, I love #khruangbin #tameimpala #unknownmortalorchestra. I love #scifi#adventure movies.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

  • Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

  • Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...

@Gleisplan
Zuerst hat Microsoft entschieden, dass das wunderbare Betriebssystem #Symbian zugunsten des minderwertigen Windows Mobile einzustellen sei. Stephen Elop, der ehemalige Präsident der Geschäftskundenabteilung von Microsoft, war damals CEO von #Nokia geworden, hat das umgesetzt und Nokias dadurch wertlos gewordene Handysparte an #Microsoft verkauft. Die Konsumenten, die gerne weiterhin Symbian genutzt hätten, hatten gar keine Wahl.
