We looked at the Trend beta for Windows Mobile in my office. They had to release an update just so you could install it. They then had to release a second update so that you could uninstall it when it when it completely screwed up your handset.
My company is a Nokia Forum Pro member, and they've been great with us on the business side. However, as a Symbian developer, I'd like to see some support for Linux development environments.
Granted, some people have gotten the tools running in Unix-like environments, but the emulator is Windows only. Development without it is nearly impossible because the only other option is a hacked together print to a file. It's frustrating going through endless edit-compile-install-run-read the log loops only to find out that the problem is something I wouln've seen after thirty seconds in the debugger.
From what I can tell from the pictures, it looks like it runs a version of Symbian. If this phone is part of Nokia's Series 60 line (the UI looks like every other Series 60 device I've seen), you can program it with C++, J2ME, Python, Perl, and OPL.
