Now, 2007 still no STUN support and probably it won't released. A dirty trick to convince customers like me to buy their phones. They have lost my consideration. Never buy a phone again without STUN support!!! I had a lot of consideration for nokia until they announced the release for STUN support with version 3 firmware for E70 (expected for end 2006).

I forsee half implemented APIs that on the surface, seem easier to use than native code, but are frustratingly crippled. Further, I predict that Nokia will hold the mistaken belief that the open source community will want to maintain "Open C" after they release their initial version. History thus far has shown little to no open source community involvement on their other products released in this manner, such as Perl for S60, PyS60 and S60WebKit. I wish Nokia would just focus on creating a full-featured phone that works, and updating firmwares for phones that are buggy. Where's the v3 firmware for e60 and e70? Where is STUN support for VOIP? Anyone serious about writing programs for mobile phones is either going to write native code or use J2ME. It sounds like another half-hearted attempt to make programming easier on S60.
