Re: How can I find out wether the phone has hardware FPU support
I had a look at HAL but could not see anything fpu related. Sure I could find out the CPU arch, but does that mean that all ARM9 phones will have the FPU enabled ? Some phones were advertised explicitly as having hardware FPU e.g. the N93i, E60 and all the UIQ3.x ones too (?).
ARRGHH!! I need to learn to read through the header more carefully, just found the EHardwareFloatingPoint property.

I think you can query this through the HAL API.

Note, though, that the only S60/Symbian APIs that use the FPU in, e.g., the N93, are the OpenGL ES APIs.

Since when does an E60 have an FPU!? News to me, unless you meant E90. You meant E90 didn't you?

Errr..yes, possibly I meant the E90. I just remembered a google search listing an E something.
