    Hi there,

    I was wondering if it was possible to install a different OS onto a new mobile phone. I'd like to buy the samsung g600 but i hate the GUI, so want to install Nokia's Symbian OS onto it. Is it pretty complicated? Id buy the N95 but it's not the phone for me, neither is the N82 and the 6220 isn't out yet.

    thanks in advance

    I'm pretty certain this is impossible. The OS is probably written for certain models of phone and certain chip types.

    No. not possible.

    Get an e51 or e66. Both are slim phones like the g600 but use symbian.
    e51 is a candybar whereas the e66 is slider.
