Meet Sony Ericsson in October at the Symbian Smartphone Show 2008
The announcement of the intention to create the Symbian Foundation in June 2008 was industry-changing and this year's Symbian Smartphone Show (October 21-22, 2008 in London, UK) is where to learn more. Sony Ericsson will be sharing our views on the Symbian Foundation in a keynote session and we offer you the chance to talk to us in pre-booked speed meetings at our booth. We will also be running C++ coding and theme creation competitions to win Sony Ericsson G700 phones and accessories.
Symbian Foundation and Sony Ericsson
The Symbian Foundation is a key initiative for the mobile phone industry as it stimulates innovation and reduces complexity. Sony Ericsson fully supports the creation of the Symbian Foundation and is one of the organization's founding members.
