Is there a device in market which supports CDMA (and not WCDMA) and uses Symbian Series 60 OS?

Thanks khalid for the quick reply. Would you also happen to know which edition of S60 (say 2nd or 3rd) does it support. I googled for it, but wasn't successful in retrieving this detail.

Thanks

Re: CDMA device using S60

This is the spot to get any stats you would want for released S60 phones:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html

for some reason 6638 is not in there though, but I assume it is more or less the same as 6630:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/6630

Operating System:
Symbian OS v8.0a

Developer Platform:
S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2

(Edit: Just noticed they don't list any CDMA S60 phones there, only CDMA S40 phones... I wonder why since they obviously do have them...)

Re: CDMA device using S60

Thanks alh.
I was hoping to find a S60 3rd ed or s60 2nd ed FP3 device with CDMA. There are a lot of S60 3rd devices, but they all support WCDMA. My provider only provides CDMA and S60 2nd devices or below don't provide the Multimedia API's i'd like to use.

Are there any S60 3rd devices with CDMA available?

Thanks,
Paarijaat

There are no Symbian based CDMA devices announced or on the market by any manufacturer (S60, UIQ or otherwise).

Re: CDMA device using S60

Aren't Nokia and Qualcomm (holder of most CDMA patents) basically at war with each other? Little wonder then that there are no Symbian CDMA devices on the market.

Well, Nokia have plenty of CDMA S40 phones, just no S60 ones...
But yeah... I smell political reasons.
