all:
I happened to get a very nice Nokia Oro, also known as the Nokia C7-00 (https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_oro-3961.php), a smartphone of very high mechanical quality once produced by Nokia.
I was amazed to see that from a hardware point of view this phone is totally up-to-date (apart from lacking LTE mobile broadband), and in some respects even more modern than current phones (for example, the battery lasts ages).
Since some of the applications installed by default are outdated (e.g. the browser), and others are missing (e.g. an importer for contacts), I'd love to know if there's something similar to F-Droid for Android, i.e. some trustworthy repo featuring Free/Libre Open Source Software for Symbian.
Any one of you Symbian users got an idea?
The phone features Symbian^3. (According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_C7-00, Nokia Belle Refresh v.111.040.1511 as of August 29th, 2012 would also work. Wouldn't know how to update, however, since Nokia doesn't seem to maintain any Symbian-related servers any more.)
Btw., there even seem to be direct sync solutions for Linux-based systems. In this aspect, Symbian seems to be more Linux-friendly than other systems, even friendlier than Maemo.
Greetings, and thanks in advance for any answer, Joe
Repo featuring Free Open Source apps for Symbian (like F-Droid for Android)?
